I have some proprietary protocol files that are in C++.  How do I add
them to Ethereal?
Make sure that the dissection code in question can be called from C, and then wrap them in code that implements the standard C-based dissector interfaces. 


Can Ethereal be compiled using g++?
The code in Ethereal can be compiled using g++ only if g++ can compile C code as C code. However, if it can, it probably just compiles it as C, so you might as well compile the existing code with gcc, and compile only your C++ code with g++.
