1. See several previous EMails in this thread for suggestions as to how 
to obtain and install a 1.4 version of Wireshark.

2. A quick look at the openflow dissector @ http://www.openflow.org/ 
shows at least one issue which will cause a build of the disector to 
fail when building with a current version of Wireshark and at least one 
bug which will cause an incomplete dissection.

I will submit a patch  later today for these and any other issues I see.


So: If you wish to build a netflow dissector to use with a current 
Wireshark (1.6 or 1.8) you should be able to do so once the patch has 
been applied.
