Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] write plugin following README.plugins

It is not the purpose of README.plugin to describe how to compile
wireshark from svn.
What's its purpose then?

Let me quote the file's section 4, which says

./configure --prefix=${HOME}/build/root;make install

Just adding one line before ("./autogen.sh"), could help someone, that's all I'm saying.


In fact, there is a good developer manual on the web which is a 'HowTo
develop in wireshark' and even how to compile wireshark from the svn.

(automake 1.6.3 is working perfectly)

Sebastien Tandel

Now I ran "./autogen.sh" followed by "./configure", which generated a Makefile for my plugin. Currently I am compiling the stuff..

Thanks for helping!

I suggest to add two points to the README.plugin file, which I found a little hard to figure out:

 * use of a current (>=1.9) version of automake
 * execute ./autogen.sh followed by ./configure

Cheers, Armin

Nope, I checked back. I also installed the latest version of automake and autoconf.
Please send the output of ./autogen.sh and, if the above step worked,
the output of ./configure .... to this list.
