Wireshark's Makefile is well beyond anything most people have ever edited, as
it's generated by two levels of software; automake turns Makefile.am, and
whatever it includes, to Makefile.in, and the configure script turns
Makefile.in to Makefile. Editing Makefile itself is not recommended.

If you don't have automake, you can't do the best thing, which is to edit the
appropriate Makefile.common; in that case:
If the tap has no GUI (such as a TShark-only tap), edit the top-level
Makefile.in and add it to the TSHARK_TAP_SRC list.
If the tap has a GUI (a Wireshark-only tap), edit gtk/Makefile.in and
add it to the WIRESHARK_TAP_SRC list.
Then re-run the configure script (it *might* rerun the configure script for you
if you do a make, but I'm not sure).
If you *do* have automake (and autoconf and libtool) installed:
If the tap has no GUI (such as a TShark-only tap), edit the top-level
Makefile.common and add it to the TSHARK_TAP_SRC list.
If the tap has a GUI (a Wireshark-only tap), edit gtk/Makefile.common
and add it to the WIRESHARK_TAP_SRC list.
Then, if you haven't already run ./autogen.sh, do that, and then run the
configure script. Otherwise, just running make should suffice.
