Hi,
Oke, here it goes: RTFM's at www.wireshark.org
Bit more to the point: What platform are you developing on? Wild guess
Win32? Then look into the Wireshark Developer Guide, which has the step by
step guide of setting up the build environment. With all that in place
check out doc/README.developer which contains lots of details on the
internals. The dissector code can all be found in epan/dissectors.
Thanx,
Jaap
