Yes, that’s the right place to put plugin dissectors now.
In general, I think it’s a good idea to revisit your plugins whenever there’s a minor (or major) version update, because things often do change. I recommend
a review and comparison of your files vs. those of a Wireshark-supplied plugin such as gryphon, since that’s the one referenced in
doc/README.plugins.
$ grep "gryphon epan" CMakeLists.txt
add_plugin_library(gryphon epan)
target_link_libraries(gryphon epan)
install_plugin(gryphon epan)

You could also try explicitly building the documentation, i.e., with
all_guides.vcxproj
I thought I didn’t have that file, but found it in docbook.
Installing Asciidoctorj has fixed the problem. Thanks.
If you didn’t install asciidoctorj, then it might be worth re-reading Section 2.2, “Win32/64: Step-by-step Guide”, from the Wireshark Developer’s Guide (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html);
asciidoctorj is mentioned in section 2.2.8.
Yes, I missed that bit. It wasn’t needed in the version I last built.
Regarding
custom_plugins.txt, you’re almost right. The example should read:
;File "${STAGING_DIR}\plugins\${VERSION_MAJOR}.${VERSION_MINOR}\epan\foo.dll"
Assuming the plugins are in the epan directory. Is that the “right” place to put them? As I said previously, they seem to have to be in a sub-directory as the
CMakeLists.txt format seems to insist e.g for my cnad plugin.
add_plugin_library(cnad epan)
target_link_libraries(cnad epan)
install_plugin(cnad epan)
Thanks for the help
