Hi,

Assuming you work on the master branch (Wireshark 1.11.X), if you want to use in libwireshark a variable defined in libwiretap, you should export the symbol with the WS_DLL_PUBLIC macro instead of using extern. Do not forget to include ws_symbol_export.h file also.
You can search in the code for examples of the use of this macro.

Pascal.
