I have the following error while compiling each time my dissector using 'make' command.

make[5]: Entering directory `/home/nileshnayak/Desktop/wireshark-1.10.5/epan/dissectors'
make[5]: *** No rule to make target `packet-foo.h', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.
make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/nileshnayak/Desktop/wireshark-1.10.5/epan/dissectors'
make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nileshnayak/Desktop/wireshark-1.10.5'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Couldn't really figure out what the problem is actually..

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

So why do a plugin?  Just write a normal new dissector.

Regardless, the doc to read is this: doc/README.dissector

That explains a lot, in detail; and of course you should also look at some existing packet-* files in epan/dissectors.  For UDP, packet-stun.c or packet-ntp.c are a relatively small ones.
