I am trying to add a dissector as a plugin for a new protocol. Before writing the dissector I tried the source of the example described in the documentation for developers: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChDissectAdd.html
I am using the Makefile.am of Example 9.6. given on that page exactly without any changes. I tried the following: - generated configure.scan by "autoscan" - renamed configure.scan to configure.in - ran "automake" But then I get a lot of errors as shown at the end of this email. I am using Fedora Core release 6 and automake-1.9... And I am a new Linux user :-) Then I tried autoscan and automake on the sources of a plugin which was included in the source and I got exactly the same errors. By the way, I have installed the binaries and haven't compiled the source myself. Has anyone an idea what I am doing wrong? Here is the output of automake: # automake configure.in: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found. configure.in: You should verify that configure.in invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, configure.in: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory, configure.in: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal). Makefile.am: required file `./INSTALL' not found Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found Makefile.am: required file `./ChangeLog' not found Makefile.am: required file `./COPYING' not found configure.in:7: required file `config.h.in' not found Makefile.am:5: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined Makefile.am:5: Makefile.am:5: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' Makefile.am:5: to `configure.in' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again. /usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.9/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
