Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] linking error

[Nina Pham <nina@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used to be able to create a new plugin for ethereal sometimes in 
January. Now, I'm trying to create another plugin. But when I did nmake 
-f makefile.nmake, I got a link error ( I attach the log of nmake with 
this email). I wasn't able to figure out why I got that error, I took 
out the new plugin I just created and retried nmake. I had same problem. 
Anybody knows what happen?

Thanks
