Re: Where to put my wiretap plugin?

Hi,

As a follow up I’ve been trying to get the wiretap plugin going. It’s sources are setup in the proper location and when 
build it’s reported in the About Wireshark dialog and tshark -G plugins output as a ‘file type’ plugin. So far so good.
However there’s a difference between the autotools vs. cmake build. Even though that both builds show the plugin loaded 
in the About Wireshark dialog the build with autotools refuses to recognise the file type, while the cmake build does 
accept it. Some instrumentation shows that in the autotools build the wtap_register_<file type> is never called, while 
in the cmake build it is. How can it show up in the plugin list, while not being registered? What influence does the 
build environment have here?

Thanks,
Jaap

Hi João,

Thanks, I’ll reconfigure my work space accordingly and see what I can come up with.
Once it’s ready I should be able to push a nice example.

Thanks,
Jaap

Hi Jaap,

Yes, that's correct, it should go in plugins/wiretap.

Let me know if you have any issues.

Hi,
With the recent change of dissector plugin location (/plugins => /plugins/epan) I assume that my wiretap plugin has 
to go in /plugins/wiretap ?
Thanks,
Jaap
