Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] How do I set the epan/dissectors/Makefile.am CUSTOM_DISSECTOR_SRC variable from

[Roland Knall <rknall@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just my two cents here. If you would change your build-system to CMake, you could use the CMakeListsCustom.txt files to achieve the same thing. You would not need to script anything, and could directly just copy the necessary file into the build. The plugins and additional dissectors do not need to reside even in the same src code database as Wireshark.

Take a look at CMakeListsCustom.txt.example for the reference. 

Currently the customization applies to:

./CMakeListsCustom.txt.example

./epan/crypt/CMakeListsCustom.txt.example

./epan/dissectors/CMakeListsCustom.txt.example

./ui/gtk/CMakeListsCustom.txt.example

Roland

OK, that will work. It would have been nicer if it was defined in
configure and then replaced but we can't have everything.

Editing that file with awk or something will be easy enough before I
run configure.
