Hello,

 

Just curious – after building a successful Wireshark from the source, and reading the README.developer:

 

[quote]

Before starting to develop a new dissector, a "running" Wireshark build

environment is required - there's no such thing as a standalone "dissector

build toolkit".

[unquote]

 

Is this to say that there is no possible way to compile a dissector that can successfully run with Wireshark, by simply compiling it with all the required libraries provided by the previously-built Wireshark?  In other words, can a dissector be updated and re-compiled with the same libraries from a previously-built Wireshark? (only need to build wireshark from source once).

 

Is this plausible?  (or, for my lack of expertise with words, understandable)

 

Thanks,

J. Walker
