Hello

I've tried changing one of my dissectors to a plugin.

After adding it and remaking it the .so files are no longer built.

I read in the archives something about HP having a problem with libtool. Sadly 
I did not understand that concept, other than to the extent that there are 
two ways to generate a loadable module, dl_open and another.

I have tried to do a diff between the Makefile's in plugin on the two 
different versions.
The only diff I can see on the Makefiles in that and the parent dir is the 
definition of compilers and flags.

the system builds, the plugin build, but on the modified system no .so files 
are generated. I have included a diff on plugins/mgcp below.

Does any one have an idea, or have an idea of where I could find some 
documentation to help me on this.

  I greatly appreciate any hints I could get.

    Henrik
