Hi,

I am trying to  add FOO dissector as plugin  to wireshark .I am following  https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChDissectAdd.html link. But not seeing the dissector in wireshark after successful build in my Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS OS.

Below are the steps I performed -
1.Created packet-foo.c - Dissector source. under /plugin/epan/foo 
2.Created CMakeLists.txt  under /plugin/epan/foo
3.Added CMakeListsCustom.txt  set(CUSTOM_PLUGIN_SRC_DIR plugins/epan/foo)
4.Built  the changes and could see foo.so getting generated in build folder
cmake -G Ninja ../wireshark
ninja 
5. Ran wireshark with sudo command , as I was not able to capture any traffic using non-root user
sudo WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY=1 ./run/wireshark
6.Generated traffic on port 1234 using python code 
7. But don't see the protocol name as FOO in the packet list pane , it still shows UDP as the protocol .

Any suggestions  on what I am missing?

Abhisek
