Hi,

Adding an automake based dissector requires you to build Wireshark as the first time, so autogen.sh, configure then make. See:
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSrcBuildFirstTime.html

Thanx,
Jaap

I have done all of your instructions but it still doesn't work.
To prevent conflicts, I flushed all previous stuff and untarred wireshark-1.1.2.tar.gz to the directory. My dissector seems to have been compiled, as there is a 'libdissectors_la-packet-hi2.lo' in the epan/dissectors directory, but when I run wireshark, I don't see anything like hi2 or HI2Operations in the "Decode As..." dialog, and my asn1 stuff is still displayed as BER... I don't have the software to compile it on Windows, and therefore, cannot tell you if it work by editing Makefile.nmake But in Linux, all seems to go fine... I'm not a expert in compilating but it seems to be a linker issue, with my dissector generated but not included into the whole. Can you please try to built it on Windows, so I'm sure that my problem is not Linux-specific or my-computer-specific ? Thanks in advance,
Franck.

Hi,

I think you can get rid of:

#include "packet-wlancertextn.h"

#include "packet-x509af.h"

#include "packet-x509ce.h"

#include "packet-x509sat.h"

In the template file.

I�m not to familiar with the make files on linux but I think you need to add hi2 to makefile.am and makefile.nmake

In the asn1 dir. At least on windows if you run nmake �f makefile.nmake hi2 in the asn1 dir it would generate the dissector

And copy it to epan/dissectors (packet-hi2.[ch]) you don�t need a .h file unless you are exporting stuff.

Then to compile the resulting dissector you need to add it to makefile.common in epan/dissectors and run make

In the top dir.

Hope this helps

Anders

Hi Anders, and thank you for replying so fast !
The protocol i'm wishing to implement is ETSI 201 671 - HI2Operations At the end of the hi2.asn file, I have copy/pasted only the 6 required definitions from 3GPP 33.108 rather to import the whole stuff. I was planning to do the same for EN 301 040, but we don't use TETRA, so I commented the import directive and associated definitions throughout the asn1 declaration. Please note that the hi2.asn is surely the cleanest of the whole zipfile, the others are certainly more suspicious... Good luck !
Franck.

Hi,

Which ETSI protocol is it?

Could you zip your asn1/ folder and attach it?

Regards

Anders

Hi there,
I'm wishing to compile a new ASN.1 dissector, but I'm completely screwed with Asn2wrs... What I have done since the beginning :
 - Read the asn2wrs wiki at 'http://wiki.wireshark.org/Asn2wrs'
- Copy/Paste the ETSI ASN.1 description into a text file (Hopefully, no need to replace odd keywords!) - Edit a conformance file, using wlancertexn.cnf as reference, but definitively not understanding what I was editing... - Edit a template file, still using wlancertexn as reference... and still not understanding... - Looking for a 'Makefile.common' located in the asn1/ directory, and a 'Makefile' from another asn.1 dissector, but they *do not* exist in any source version of wireshark I have tried... so I have edited all the Makefile.* to add a subdir in the list for my dissector. - Trying to './configure' then 'make', but when 'make' comes to my dissector, it desperately fails indicating my dissector is "defined but not used"... I know I am doing it like an asshole, but it is the only way I know today. May someone helps me ? Thanks you,
Franck.
