I am very eager to know the answer since I am currently fighting to build both. I don't know how I did it but in fact, I 've got 2 folders: -wireshark-win32-lib -wireshark-win64-lib I think I have built correctly all libs in the 2 directories, but whenever I try compiling wireshark in 32 bits (set WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM=win32 within a x86 visual command prompt), I've got this error: "inffas32.obj : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64'" I've got no pb compiling into 64bits. (I call vcvars64bits,set WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM=win64). any help/doc on this could be useful.
Well I usually don't need to build Wireshark, when I want to compile a dissector plugin. All I need
- to compile my C++ files are the header files - to link my plugin DLL is the appropriate libwireshark.lib - to debug my plugin are the source files and the .pdb files.The Wireshark developers provide the .pdb files what is of great value. To build the import library I use this small script:
setlocal mkdir x86 mkdir x64 pushd wireshark-1.6.0\epan call :build amd64 x64 call :build x86_amd64 x86 popd endlocal goto :eof :build setlocal call "%VS90COMNTOOLS%\..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat" %1link /force /def:libwireshark.def /out:libwireshark.dll /implib:..\..\%2\libwireshark.lib
del libwireshark.dll endlocal goto :eofThat's all. It takes about a second to run. No Cygwin installed, neither Python nor Perl. Neither msbuild not powershell.
I know that the generated libwireshark.dll is unusable. But Wireshark comes with a working version.
When we can convince the Wireshark developers to archive and provide the import libraries for a even branch e.g. 1.6.x or odd version 1.7.3 we can build plugins with much less effort.
