Dear all,
I'm new in Wireshark and I'm trying to sniff IPMI packets throught a i2c bus.
To do this I need to compile a plugin which has been previously developed in the context of (https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1970 ) .
Actually, my first question is why do I need to add this plugin if wireshark already cames out with a ipmb dissector?
Well, I wouldn't think that you need to. The "new" (compared to that in
bug 1970) IPMI dissector stuff is built-in (see
epan/dissectors/packet-*ipmi*).
Why do you think you need to add the plugin?
Are you trying to capture IPMI packets or decode them? (I'm not aware
of Wireshark/libpcap being able to capture from i2c buses but I could
have missed that.)
Anyway, I tried to add this plugin following the README.plugin procedure and I faced the following problem.
I make the suggested modifications to the Makefile.am, Cmaketlist.txt etc.. files into the wireshark directory.
Then, from the wireshark derectory, I execute:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
The compiling process correctly starts but after a while I get this error concerning the new plugin:
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/userme/wireshark-1.8.3/plugins/gryphon'
Making all in ipmb
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/userme/wireshark-1.8.3/plugins/ipmb'

That suggests that there's no Makefile in plugins/ipmb/. Are you sure
you added plugins/ipmb to the AC_OUTPUT() call in configure.in (or
configure.ac if you were using trunk/)?
