Hi List!
I'm putting the first part of the developer's guide into the first review.
The structure so far:
-Preface (well, some basics about the document)
-Part I: how to setup the Ethereal build environment (e.g. tools and
libraries to use, how to get the sources and alike)
-Part II (at the very beginning): how to develop in Ethereal (well, how
to actually change the Ethereal source code)
As I'm doing development on win32, this doc is *very* win32 specific,
unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge to put more suitable info
for any unix flavour :-(
Please don't throw a lot of unix specific things at me, you might have a
look at the docbook sources to include the infos yourself (and provide
me with patches). It's easy to do, and I can help you editing
docbook/XML if you need some help here.
The state so far:
Preface and Part I is in a state ready for a first review. I need some
feedback if it's going in the right direction and what things are missing.
Part II is in a very, very, early state, and should only be seen as an
anchor for links from Part I so far. Please don't put comments on this part.
You will find the developer-guide.pdf at http://lamping.net/ethereal
If you want to generate the user's and developer's guide on your own,
have a look at docbook/README.txt for further details.
Regards, ULFL
