But would this reproduce the "offically released source files" as mentioned
in section 3.3.4 of WSDG?
Is the SVN release branch official or the wireshark-1.6.0.tar.bz2?
Why should I use SVN checkout instead of export? The checkout generates a
lot of .svn directories that I only need when I modify the files and want to
check in probably later.
I just want to find the best solution to get the header file and
supplementaty files that are necessary to compile my dissectors. Your
proposal to "make" the whole thing unfortuanately doesn't work because a
problem with the GeoIP library (see other thread).
