You just need to have *.so file to add a plugin.
To build it, try "make all" in the directory concerned by the plugin.
Normally, you should have a *.so file copied into :
/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0
or
/usr/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0
or
/opt/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0
It depends on the directory mentionned in the *.la file.

Subject: [Ethereal-dev] how do I compile/install a plugin?
Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 14:56:11 -0500
I'm having some trouble just trying to figure out how to do a simple
compile and install of a ethereal dissector plugin. I am using OS X on
intel. I downloaded the source code for 0.99.0 and I see that there is a
plugins directory in the source tree. If I run ./configure and then make
in the plugins directory I get some *.la files. Then I tried copying one
of the *.la files into the plugins directory of my darwin ports install of
ethereal (i.e. /opt/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0/)
I can't seem to get anything to work. I tried modifying the source code of
one of the plugins to use a different tcp port just to see if it is
working, but it didn't seem to do anything. Is there a way to tell if the
plugin has loaded or not? Do I need a *.so file? All of the other plugins
in that directory have *.la and *.so, but when I compile I only get a *.la
file. Sorry for my ignorance. I'm kind of in a time crunch and I don't
see much documentation on this. Any help would be appreciated.
