Hello and good day. My name is David and this is my first post in the list. I am currently studying how to develop a dissector and currently building on top of an existing one. The base I am using is an openflow dissector found here: http://www.openflow.org/wp/downloads/#dissector Created by Mr. David Underhill. Before proceeding, I would like to say that where possible, I try to strictly follow the developers guide: www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html I think the only difference in my case is that I am using MS Visual Studio 2010 instead of the Express edition. My environment is now this: [OS] WindowsXP Professional SP3 32bit [Compiler] Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.40219.01 for 80x86 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. [Wireshark Base] ver: 1.10.1 url: http://www.wireshark.org/download/src/wireshark-1.10.1.tar.bz2 Setup and compilation is ok with the wireshark sources as is. But when I include the openflow dissector, I get this error (among others): C:\wireshark-1.10.1\epan/etypes.h(541) : error C2133: 'etype_vals' : unknown size I tried to work around this error by modifying epan/etypes.h like this: + #ifdef _WIN32 + WS_DLL_PUBLIC const value_string *etype_vals; + #else WS_DLL_PUBLIC const value_string etype_vals[]; + #endif After modifying this and working around other compile errors (not part of the topic), I have successfully built the plugin and wireshark. I am a beginner in developing for windows as my experience is mostly in linux environments (GNU). So I would like to ask for the opinions on the developers in this list if what I did was safe. Is there a more 'correct' modification? Is there a way around this error without modifying any wireshark codes? Thank you very much, David
