Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Finding init.lua after build from source

Thanks Tony.

 

 I needed your advice, plus I needed to recompile Wireshark after installing liblua.

 

 I tried running ./configure again and I saw that lua support was not being compiled in.

 

 So, now I am happily using lua with my Wireshark built from source!

 

Cheers,
 Chris

Copy init.lua and console.lua to your home Wireshark directory:

 

     UN*X:             $HOME/.wireshark/

     Windows:       %APPDATA%\Wireshark\

 

 

Lua scripts that are in the plugins directory are automatically loaded. You should remove the "dofile" call from init.lua. Alternatively, you can explicitly load your Lua script with "-X lua_script":

 

     $ tshark -Xlua_script:/path/to/foo.lua -r fuzz.pcap
