Judging by your prompts below, it seems you are building on a Unix
system, not a Windows system.  If that's the case, then you probably
also need to modify epan/dissectors/Makefile.in.  After that, you'll
likely need to re-run autogen.sh, then configure & make again.
If you re-run autogen.sh, you will overwrite all the work done to epan/dissectors/Makefile.in...
...with the results of changes made to epan/dissectors/Makefile.common. autogen.sh causes automake to be run to generate Makefile.in files.
I.e., if you have enough tools to be able to run autogen.sh (this includes autoconf, automake, and libtool), you *don't* need to modify any Makefile.in files - those are generated from Makefile.am and Makefile.common files.
And if you don't have enough tools to be able to run autogen.sh, you might not be able to add new dissectors.
