I am trying to add a dissector as a plugin for a new protocol. Before
writing the dissector I tried the source of the example described in
the documentation for developers:
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChDissectAdd.html
I am using the Makefile.am of Example 9.6. given on that page exactly
without any changes. I tried the following:
- generated configure.scan by "autoscan"
- renamed configure.scan to configure.in
- ran "automake"
But then I get a lot of errors as shown at the end of this email. I am
using Fedora Core release 6 and automake-1.9... And I am a new Linux
user :-)
Then I tried autoscan and automake on the sources of a plugin which
was included in the source and I got exactly the same errors. By the
way, I have installed the binaries and haven't compiled the source
myself.
Has anyone an idea what I am doing wrong?
Here is the output of automake:
# automake
configure.in: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
configure.in: You should verify that configure.in invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
configure.in: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory,
configure.in: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal).
