This is an ethereal-dev question, not an ethereal-users question. I'll
send the answer to ethereal-users, in case anybody who might care
doesn't read ethereal-dev, but I'll send replies to ethereal-dev.

I'm trying to rebuild ethereal by adding 2 files (.c and .h) in the
wiretap directory. This is to support the propritary file format which
our company has.
when I try to do a "make" after "./configure" the above two files are
not recognized and I get the error in "wiretap/file_access.c" where
the call to the function (defined in the .c file) is there.
DO i have to manually add these files in the configure or make scripts?
Yes.
If yes, which file and which place?
You add them to "Makefile.am", in the "libwiretap_a_SOURCES" list.
If you're building from CVS, "make" should re-generate "Makefile.in"
from "Makefile.am" using automake, and should re-run the configure
script to re-generate "Makefile" from "Makefile.in", and should rebuild
with the new Makefile.
If you downloaded an Ethereal release source tarball, you might have to
run "autogen.sh" from the top-level directory, and re-run the configure
script.
