Hi, I am implementing a functionality where I want to scan all packets in a pcap file, and depending on a configuration, select only the relevant packets of a call flow (basically create a filter and then apply it). I will be using only the GUI mode (no tshark). Tap interface will not serve my purpose. Is there a quick fix way to call UI code from the dissectors code? I simply want to prototype and test.

If you intend to submit your code back to Wireshark it might help if you describe the functionality you are designing, Regards Anders ________________________________ From: wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org [mailto:wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org] On Behalf Of Vishnu Bhatt Sent: den 18 april 2012 12:52 To: wireshark-dev () wireshark org Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Problem in using a global variable in wireshark/gtk folder which is defined in epan/dissectors/ folder Hello, I have a global variable in a .c file in the wireshark/epan/dissectors/ folder. How do I use it in another .c file in the wireshark/gtk/ folder? Every time I try using extern, I get an "undefined reference" error. I am able to use the same variable in another .c file in the epan/ folder. Is there anything I am missing? The exact error I am getting is /home1/vishnu.bhatt/11.2.1/wireshark_3g/gtk/call_trace.c:139: undefined reference to `UE_trace_IMSI_table' "UE_trace_IMSI_table" is a global variable defined in /home1/vishnu.bhatt/11.2.1/wireshark_3g/epan/dissectors/packet-abc.c And I am trying to use "UE_trace_IMSI_table" in /home1/vishnu.bhatt/11.2.1/wireshark_3g/gtk/call_trace.c I have declared "UE_trace_IMSI_table" in /home1/vishnu.bhatt/11.2.1/wireshark_3g/gtk/call_trace.h Any help will be appreciated.
