Hmmm... it says:
"The Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition is recommended to
compile Wireshark - it's free (as in beer) and gives by far the
best development comfort (compared to the other free packages)."
... while MSVC-2005EE cannot be used to compile plugins for the
standard distributions. We might want to switch the compiler
used for the distributions to MSVC-2005EE too, or at least put
a note in the DevGuide about not being able to load a plugin
that was compiled with MSVC-2005EE into a standard Wireshark
install :(
... or both of course ;-)
