Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] why wireshark plugin does not work here - dissector_add_uint()

[John x <xiachangqin66@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am working on wireshark 1.7.0 (SVN from /trunk), so the ".so" file generated from "1.7.0" cannot be used on version "1.6.*" as wireshark plugin?

Thanks
