Hi,
These are nice articles. There's one big problem though: root access.
http://blog.csdn.net/vastsmile/archive/2008/05/04/2387266.aspx
You state that you need root access to build and run Wireshark. That is untrue
and potentially dangerous. First of all leave it out of the build, so:
... execute "./autogen.sh && ./configure" in command line....
You can run Wireshark straight up, without becoming root, to read in capture
files. If you want to capture you can modify the permissions of dumpcap, the
capture utility, to setuid root. Then Wireshark can capture, without becoming root.
You may want to incorporate these notes into your memo.
Thanx,
Jaap

In recent experience of writing wireshark plugin and deploying it
onto different platforms, I have created following memos. Hope they
can be useful for other ones' trouble-shooting.
