if I do like this, is that means my plug-in can not work on others ethereal environment ?
It means that your plugin will not work with any Windows version of Ethereal that wasn't built with tvb_fake_unicode in the libethereal.def file. That includes *ALL* existing released versions of Ethereal.
If built for some particular flavor of UN*X, it'll work with any version of Ethereal for that flavor of UN*X (on the same CPU, with the right OS version, etc.) that has a shared libethereal with tvb_fake_unicode() in it, as the dynamic linking mechanism on UN*Xes doesn't require a libethereal.def equivalent.
I've checked in a change to add tvb_fake_unicode to libethereal.def, so the *next* release of Ethereal should support your plugin.
