This is exactly what I did.

I got the 1.4 sources and compiled it on linux and started wireshark. Everything worked fine.

On the same machine (about 1 year ago)...I got version 1.1.2 compiled and working on my machine with my dissector. (not sure exactly what I did to get it working)

So all I did was grab my dissectors directory only....and dropped it in the plugin folder of 1.4.0.

When I do a make install....I get this error:

make: *** No rule to make target `../../aclocal-fallback/libgnutls.m4', needed by `Makefile.in'. Stop.

It does not load my dissector (even with my dissector in the plugins director) when I start wireshark.

Thanks for your help.

Brian

I got my dissector working just fine on Windows. Now I want to get it
working on Linux.

On my Linux machine, I got the latest sources and did the following:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

Then I do a ./wireshark and wireshark starts up just fine.

I tried to just copy my protocol's directory from my windows machine
into the plugins directory on my linux machine and do a make
install....but no luck.
No luck as in...  It doesn't compile?  Doesn't load the plugin when you
start Wireshark? ...?
