I am not sure if this is your problem, but here is how I did it and worked
for me (got also the problem with the path, but just moved it manualy to
the correct location) and another error that I believe is the one described
by Heming.
Hope this will help,
Diana
Wireshark and some dependencies:
sudo apt-get install wireshark libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install git-core automake m4 pkg-config libtool
Dissector:
git clone git://openflow.org/openflow.git
cd openflow
./boot.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd utilities/wireshark_dissectors/openflow
make
sudo make install
Not appearing in Wireshark → About → Plugin
copy the packet-openflow.so file in the location of the libraries
cp file destination_path
for me it is /usr/lib/wireshark/libwireshark1/plugins
Wireshark will not recognize the plugin:
Edit file “packet-openflow.c” , recompile, redo the step above
add:
*#define NO_STRINGS NULL*
edit:
*void proto_reg_handoff_openflow*()
{
openflow_handle = create_dissector_handle(dissect_openflow, proto_openflow);
//dissector_*add*(TCP_PORT_FILTER, global_openflow_proto, openflow_handle);
dissector*_add_uint*(TCP_PORT_FILTER, global_openflow_proto,
openflow_handle);
}
