Title: RE: [Ethereal-dev] (no subject)

Modify make.nmake file to add the blue part,

xxx.dll xxx.exp xxx.lib : packet-xxx.obj ..\plugin_api.obj
        link -dll /PDB:xxx.pdb /DEBUG /out:xxx.dll packet-xxx.obj ..\plugin_api.obj \
        $(GLIB_DIR)\glib-$(GLIB_VERSION).lib

After compile, copy xxx.pdb to \ethereal\plugins\0.9.15 directory. Then you can fine the sources.

A Question regarding the following thread: http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200309/msg00479.html

Could anyone post such a demo workspace for a plugin dll
