Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Static/Dynamic linking of plugins in ethereal-0.9.15
Hi All,
I'm trying to compile ethereal-0.9.15 on "pure cygwin". During "make
ethereal.exe", I encounter following error:

I think wuts happening here is, at make time we are telling that the plugins
should be build statically and hence following line in all the defined
plugins gets defined. (plz correct me if I'm wrong) Due to which the above
error happens. Maybe the solution is the "dynamic linkage of plugins" (DLL),
i don't know how.. if you guys can give a soultion OR any other solution to
fix the above problem.
#ifndef ENABLE_STATIC
G_MODULE_EXPORT const gchar version[] = VERSION;
#endif
Most of the places I have seen is people build ethereal as
"./configure --without-plugins", this is NOT wut I'm looking for. I need to
build using plugins.
Thanks and Regards,
