Hi,
From below I take it your dissector is written in C++, we are not
prepared to accept dissectors in C++ currently
so your dissector will not make it into the standard Wireshark.

Anders
Hello all,
I made a lousy mistake earlier and I should have realized it sooner.
So sorry.
The modification #define I posted earlier is wrong. _WIN32 affects
everything and based on my looking around the makefile, I found a /TP
compile option.
I think this is a more 'correct' (?) mod so that it will be a
1-time/step compile:
#if !defined(__cplusplus)
WS_DLL_PUBLIC const value_string etype_vals[];
#else
WS_DLL_PUBLIC const value_string *etype_vals;
#endif
But still I am modifying epan/etypes.h.
To Mr. Anders,
Thank you for the link.
I will check on how to use it to my current development but let's just
say that I don't have the 'authority' to abandon the dissector I have
right now.
Thank you,
David

Hi,
Nothing to do with your problem but there is also a openflow
dissector being developed in trunk
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/trunk/epan/dissectors/packet-openflow.c?revision=50623&view=markup
written in C. It would be better to pool resources and work on
that one.
Regards
Anders

Hello again,
I forgot to add that this 'hack' requires wireshark to be
compiled in two steps (if ever compilation is done from scratch
or after distclean).
The first step is to 'make all' without the modification to
etype_vals and without the openflow plugin.
Then the second step is to plug in the openflow dissector and
modify etype_vals and make again.
Clearly something is not right with this picture.
Hopefully this additional info clears some things.
Thanks.

Hello and good day.
My name is David and this is my first post in the list.
I am currently studying how to develop a dissector and
currently building on top of an existing one.
The base I am using is an openflow dissector found here:
http://www.openflow.org/wp/downloads/#dissector
Created by Mr. David Underhill.
Before proceeding, I would like to say that where possible, I
try to strictly follow the developers guide:
www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html
<http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html>
I think the only difference in my case is that I am using MS
Visual Studio 2010 instead of the Express edition.
My environment is now this:
[OS] WindowsXP Professional SP3 32bit
[Compiler] Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler
Version 16.00.40219.01 <tel:16.00.40219.01> for 80x86
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
[Wireshark Base] ver: 1.10.1
url:
http://www.wireshark.org/download/src/wireshark-1.10.1.tar.bz2
Setup and compilation is ok with the wireshark sources as is.
But when I include the openflow dissector, I get this error
(among others):
C:\wireshark-1.10.1\epan/etypes.h(541) : error C2133:
'etype_vals' : unknown size
I tried to work around this error by modifying epan/etypes.h
like this:
+ #ifdef _WIN32
+ WS_DLL_PUBLIC const value_string *etype_vals;
+ #else
WS_DLL_PUBLIC const value_string etype_vals[];
+ #endif
After modifying this and working around other compile errors
(not part of the topic), I have successfully built the plugin
and wireshark.
I am a beginner in developing for windows as my experience is
mostly in linux environments (GNU).
So I would like to ask for the opinions on the developers in
this list if what I did was safe.
Is there a more 'correct' modification?
Is there a way around this error without modifying any
wireshark codes?
Thank you very much,
David
