Re: Portable Linux Wireshark with custom dissectors - possible ?

[ronnie sahlberg <ronniesahlberg () gmail com>]

You should be able to either build a statically linked version of wireshark,
or copy the normally built dynamically linked version as well as the
various shared libraries wireshark comes with and just wrap it inside
a small shell-script that sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that ld.so can
find the wireshark libraries.

But you cant use plugins like that so your custom dissectors have to
be built in as normal dissectors.
