Hi,
You should probably do what you are trying to do trough the tap interface 
instead, dissectors are not supposed to have any UI code as they can be run 
from tshark as well.
If you intend to submit your code back to Wireshark it might help if you 
describe the functionality you are designing,
Regards
Anders

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Problem in using a global variable in wireshark/gtk 
folder which is defined in epan/dissectors/ folder

Hello,
I have a global variable in a .c file in the wireshark/epan/dissectors/ folder. 
How do I use it in another .c file in the wireshark/gtk/ folder? Every time I 
try using extern, I get an "undefined reference" error. I am able to use the 
same variable in another .c file in the epan/ folder. Is there anything I am 
missing?

The exact error I am getting is

/home1/vishnu.bhatt/11.2.1/wireshark_3g/gtk/call_trace.c:139: undefined 
reference to `UE_trace_IMSI_table'

"UE_trace_IMSI_table" is a global variable defined in 
/home1/vishnu.bhatt/11.2.1/wireshark_3g/epan/dissectors/packet-abc.c

And I am trying to use "UE_trace_IMSI_table" in 
/home1/vishnu.bhatt/11.2.1/wireshark_3g/gtk/call_trace.c

I have declared "UE_trace_IMSI_table" in 
/home1/vishnu.bhatt/11.2.1/wireshark_3g/gtk/call_trace.h

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards
Vishnu Bhatt
