Do you have a working Ethereal development environment? Do you have a
working plugin (using C sources)?
Then create a new source file that will become the entry point to the C
++ plugin. Let it be compiled and linked as if it were a C++
application. Then wrap all code inside the plugin with a extern "C"{}
block. That's basically the trick. It is NOT easy, it took me a couple
of days before I could make it work. You need to fiddle with Makefiles a
lot! I'm sorry I can't help you more, but it's been 6 years since I made
it work....
