Hi,
with latest wireshark-1.8.2, I noticed I get error messages on wireshark
or tshark startup:
/lib64/libwireshark.so.2: undefined symbol: py_create_dissector_handle
Digging a bit into compile process, I found out that
py_create_dissector_handle is not mentioned in libwireshark.def and even
if it was there, it would be removed during compilation. Attached patch
fixes the problem for me.
I tried to understand bug
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6448, but I failed
to see how SVN rev. 39439 *adds* the python symbols to libwireshark.sym,
it can only remove them. Do I miss something?
As bug 6448 says, no one really does much with the Python stuff any
more. So that this patch doesn't get lost, I'd suggest you attach it to
that bug (which is still open because while the patches have been
checked in, the bug says the Python stuff still doesn't work).
