Hi Anders,

Yes – I’ve deleted the entire wsbuild64 directory and rebuilt, but the problem 
is that I’m not completely clear on what’s required in my code.  I think I need 
to understand _imp_ and imports in general.  The thing I can’t work out is that 
I’ve written other plugins that call DLL functions and I’ve never really had to 
think about it – it just seemed to work.

Best regards…Paul

Hi,
Did you try to delete the build dir and start over with cmake/msbuild ?
Regards
Anders

Hi Paul,

DLL_PUBLIC is not "new style" (it's just a macro definition), although the 
inference is understandable.

The hello plugin example is specific to Linux and GCC, the idea being that you 
can just apt install wireshark (or equivalent) and build only your plugin 
against that.

As far as visibility goes you can just include ws_symbol_export.h and use 
WS_DLL_PUBLIC as usual.

Hope that helps.

Sorry to bother you all with this but I can’t seem to figure this out.

I was running with a git master branch that I think was 2.5.  I had a plugin 
that I could build and it worked OK.  At the weekend I did a git pull for 
master and now I can’t get my plugin to build.  I reread the plugin.README and 
dissector.README files and I think I’ve done everything necessary to code the 
plugin in the new style.

I’ve tried copying some of the code from the hello.c example, specifically I’ve 
added this to the top of my plugin:

#ifndefVERSION

#defineVERSION "0.0.0"

#endif

#defineDLL_PUBLIC__attribute__((__visibility__("default")))

DLL_PUBLICconstgchar plugin_version[] = VERSION;

DLL_PUBLICconstgchar plugin_release[] = VERSION_RELEASE;

DLL_PUBLICvoidplugin_register(void);

The VERSION line errors on:

  * DLL_PUBLIC – expected a type specifier
  * const – expected a ‘{‘

I’ve got more issues, but I suspect they relate to DLL linkage (lots of 
_/imp/_XXXX link errors).

The DLL_PUBLIC error seems pretty fundamental.  What am I doing wrong?

I’m using VS2015 on Windows 10.

Thanks and regards…Paul
