Are you developing a built-in or plug-in dissector?  The built-in ones 
are probably easier - you just have to add it to 
epan/dissectors/Makefile.common and have one file in epan/dissectors/ 
for your dissector code.  I usually start out using the sample dissector 
code in README.developer between "Cut here" marks.  If you're still 
having trouble, attach your dissector code to an e-mail and one of us 
can take a look at it.
