Hi,
If you think it's related to your specific dissector you could make it into a plugin (see doc/README.plugin). That way you can more easily compile "just your dissector", and compare compile time. 

Thanx,
Jaap

Hi,

I am a newbie!!! I have installed wireshark on a Ubuntu box and am trying
to add my own dissector to it by copying the file in epan/dissectors and
configuring Makefile.common.

Every time I go for compilation it takes almost one hour for it to
compile. Funny thing is that without touching it compiling the original
source code only take 25 minutes.

I wonder if there is anyway to make it faster.

Appreciate your help,

Seyed.
