Wireshark 2.5 - cannot build CORBA IDL dissectors

[David Hagood <david.hagood () gmail com>]

I am trying to build dissectors for specialized CORBA IDLs (SCA 2.2.2 
and SCA 4.1), but there have been some changes to the idl2wrs program 
that make all the instructions that I have been able to find on the web 
and on the Wireshark WIKI invalid. The command line parameter has 
changed from an IDL file to <interface> - but there is no information as 
to what that is supposed to be. It *looks* like it is supposed to the be 
base name of an IDL file in the current directory, but when I try that I 
get an error parsing the IDL file.

Has anybody tried this recently? and are there any newer guides on how 
to build dissectors? Is there an easier way to build a dissector plug 
in; one that does not entail rebuilding all of Wireshark? or that yields 
a shared library that could easily be distributed?
