now i am getting linker error like

: undefined reference to `proto_register_protocol'

i have added library path to wireshark/epan where the proto.h is there which
contains the above functions. do u have idea abt wat els s required to be
done to get through this ?
Adding a path is not sufficient. You need to add the library file that defines the symbols. In a Windows build you add the library files _after_ the object files to the linker command line. That looks similar like this (on one line): 

link -dll /out:mymodule.dll myobject1.obj myobject2.obj
..\..\epan\libwireshark.lib ..\..\wsutil\wsutil.lib ....
In a Unix-build you will replace the .lib files with .so or .sa files. I assume the .sa is deprecated.
You can compare your makefile with one of the makefiles in the plugins tree to get the idea.
