Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Integrating a CORBA dissector

["Ben B." <solitaryprogrammer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

At the moment I am trying to integrate a CORBA dissector.

Using the instructions at
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/AppToolsidl2wrs.html I
produced a C file from the IDL.

The next step is to build Wireshark with the new C file integrated.
Here the instructions read:
edit Makefile.am
edit Makefile.nmake

Being on Linux, I don't care about Makefile.nmake. Still, I do not
manage to integrate my new file into Makefile.am ... after all, it has
around 820 lines in version 0.99.6.

This is the diff for Makefile.am:

This is the error message that I get when building:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `myInterface.a', needed by
`wireshark'.  Stop.

Cheers, thanks for ideas ...
