Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] What are nmake commands required to builddissector

["Hal Lander" <hal_lander@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That was a big help.
To use a plugin dll is the only thing required that the dll file is in 
wireshark-gtk2\plugins\0.99.4 ?

The toplevel Makefile.nmake seems to explicitly copy each plugin, and I 
could edit the nmake file to include mine, but I want to be sure I am not 
missing something else.

The toplevel Makefile.nmake has a section near the bottom which does the 
copies, here is an extract;

	if not exist $(INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\$(VERSION) mkdir 
$(INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\$(VERSION)
	xcopy ".\plugins\acn\acn.dll" $(INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\$(VERSION) /d
	xcopy ".\plugins\agentx\agentx.dll" $(INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\$(VERSION) /d
	xcopy ".\plugins\artnet\artnet.dll" $(INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\$(VERSION) /d
	xcopy ".\plugins\asn1\asn1.dll" $(INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\$(VERSION) /d
	xcopy ".\plugins\ciscosm\ciscosm.dll" $(INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\$(VERSION) /d
	xcopy ".\plugins\docsis\docsis.dll" $(INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\$(VERSION) /d
	xcopy ".\plugins\enttec\enttec.dll" $(INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\$(VERSION) /d
	xcopy ".\plugins\giop\coseventcomm.dll" $(INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\$(VERSION) 
/d
