I assume you need to change Wireshark or add a new dissector or tap to Wireshark, as you don't need to build the standard version in order to run Wireshark on Windows (there's a pre-built binary). > These are my queries > 1) If I build WS, and write my own dissector (as a plugin or build > with source ) in Linux, can the .exe file so genrated be > executable in Windows I know of nothing similar to Wine that would help you by allowing Linux, or other UN*X, binaries to run on Windows. (No, the Interix subsystem doesn't do that, as far as I know.) I.e., an executable image for a UN*X such as Linux is not executable on Windows (and doesn't have a name ending with ".exe" - UN*X executables tend not to have any extension). > OR is there any necessity for me to crs-compile?? You would have to cross-compile; I don't know what tools there are for building Windows executables on Linux - or whether, if any exist, they can be used to build Wireshark. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
