Re: How do I set the epan/dissectors/Makefile.am CUSTOM_DISSECTOR_SRC variable from a script when I run configure?

[Roland Knall <rknall () gmail com>]

Just my two cents here. If you would change your build-system to CMake, you
could use the CMakeListsCustom.txt files to achieve the same thing. You
would not need to script anything, and could directly just copy the
necessary file into the build. The plugins and additional dissectors do not
need to reside even in the same src code database as Wireshark.

Take a look at CMakeListsCustom.txt.example for the reference.

Currently the customization applies to:

./CMakeListsCustom.txt.example
./epan/crypt/CMakeListsCustom.txt.example
./epan/dissectors/CMakeListsCustom.txt.example
./ui/gtk/CMakeListsCustom.txt.example

regards
Roland
