Hi,
I would like to point you to doc/README.plugins. There it describes how to add a 
plugin dissector to a Windows *and* Unix/Linux build
If you're looking for development information for Wireshark on Linux itself, the 
Wireshark Developer's Guide also includes sections for Unix/Linux along with 
Windows.
Your Ubuntu repository can help you as well by installing the wireshark-dev package.
Thanks,
Jaap

Hello everybody,
i have developed and build a dissector plugin in windows but i have to 
run it on a linux ubuntu machine. I haven't really developed in linux so 
far, thus i know only the basics. A dissector plugin tutorial for linux 
would help me a lot.
I tried to find one but all i found are unsorted info in the mailing 
list. All the tutorials in wireshark.org <http://wireshark.org> and 
readme files are for windows. I read in the mailing-list that the reason 
for it is that in windows should be more difficult to build a dissector 
than in linux, so for linux no need for tutorial.
Nevertheless i wanted to ask if somebody knows a linux tutorial that i 
missed, for a better development experience.
As i said before, i already have the dissector code (packet-xxx.c).
Thanks a million
