Thank you much for the reply!I really appreciate that!
My main concern is, I am willing to build a wireshark plugin dissector outside of wireshark directory, in Linux.
For example, my wireshark source code is in $home/wireshark/ , but want to include the plugin in $home/plugin/ which is independant from wireshark directory, can I use the configure option:--with-plugins[=DIR] , to achieve my goal? If yes ,is there any modification needed to top level Makefile and configure.in ?
Can you please give me a simeple example of this option, since I have tried a whole without any achievement... The build keep looking for plugins in /wireshark/plugins/ directory... :(

System plugin = plugin install in wireshark/plugin, personalplugin directory = $HOME/.wireshark/plugins, is that what you mean?
Thank you for your help!!!
