Hi,
I got a queston from a collegue about custom make on linux which I'm
forwarding to our build gurus :)
(Translated):
In the windows  version it is easy to add your own plugins by updating
Custom.nmake.
We haven't found anything similar for Linux, we have made the following
changes to the 4 linux files affected:
Adding a macro which gets the plugin information from 2 files (if they
exist). Then you only have to update 2 files to add a plugin.

Is this the right thing to do or is thre a better alternative?

The code is quite simple

In top level Makefile.am :

-include plugins/Custom.make
plugin_ldadd = $(_CUSTOM_plugin_ldadd_)\
                   ....
Same change in the other Makefile.am:s

In configure.in:

Sinclude(plugins/Custom.m4) dnl
ifdef(_CUSTOM_AC_OUTPUT_, '', define(_CUSTOM_AC_OUTPUT_,)) dnl
AC_OUTPUT (
 ...
 _CUSTOM_AC_OUTPUT_
,)

Finally we are wondering if the path under linux is correct.
In
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChAppFilesConfigurationS
ection.html it says 
/usr/share/wireshark/plugins, /usr/local/share/wireshark/plugins,
$HOME/.wireshark/plugins        
In our system the plugins are not under the share catalouge, it's under
lib. [/usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/$Wireshark_Version]

Regards
Anders
