Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _mtp3_standard

["Xiao Li" <xiao.k.li@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
  I have wrote a wireshark plugin and it was built successfully under
unix. But when building it under Windows,  following error will
appear:

 I added following line plugins/pmp/packet-pmp.c to use the variable
mtp3_standard, because under epan/dissectors/, the variable is defined
in packet-mtp3.c and declared in packet-mtp3.h.
#include <epan/dissectors/packet-mtp3.h>

I did some search online, and it is saying that usually this error
means some .lib is not correctly linked.

Could someone tell me how to do it in wireshark?

Thanks & Regards
