Re: Errors building 3.7 plugins.

[João Valverde <j () v6e pt>]

Hi,

The problem is that ssize_t is not defined in your platform. More 
specifically because we define it in config.h that definition is not 
available to external plugins.

It's a Wireshark bug but the easiest fix is for you to define ssize_t 
before including wsutil/regex.h.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
