Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Patch to packet-frame.c for Mate access

[LEGO <luis.ontanon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I have a question about plugins in Win32.  Unfortunatelly I do not
have a Win32 box with a compiler at hand. So I cannot verify this
myself.

Do changes in plugin_api_list.c aply to libethereal.dll or just to the
"plugin.dll"?

or better,

Iif I make changes to the  plugin_api_list.c will a "plugin.dll" built
afterwards be able to run under the unmodified libethereal.dll ?

That comes because,  If the plugin.dll would run on top of the
unmodified libethereal.dll there's no problem.

But, if the plugin would need a compiled libethereal.dll that
incorporates the changes made to plugin_api_list.c we need to apply
the following patch as well before 0.10.8:
