Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] regarding support of wireshark plugin (lua development)

[Shikhar K <awadhesh.usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am developing wireshark plugin ((lua file) for packect dissecting . I can see the live decrypted messages in wireshark on windows. For that I used following steps

1. Enable lua supports by commenting  the line in init.lua file
-- Lua is disabled by default, comment out the following line to enable Lua support.
--disable_lua = true; do return end;

2. Created lua file (in C:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins) for my specific messages.
3. Put the entry of lua file in init.lua (C:\Program Files\Wireshark) as
dofile("plugins\\directmip.lua")

4. Start the wireshark

After above steps I can see the messages in readable format. 

Now I want to do these steps for Fedora 8.0 (linux OS), for that I searched init.lua file in entire system. I couldn't find any such file. I found configuration related information on

http://www.downloadatoz.com/manual/wi/wireshark/wsug_chm/ChAppFilesConfigurationSection.html

but Tool->Lua menu never come in wireshark on Fedora (as on windows). Please let me know how can i do this thing on Fedora 8.

Does WIRESHARK supports LUA development on linux? 

Thanks & Regards
Awadhesh.
