Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] adding a plugin to ethereal

["Enrico Budianto" <ebudian@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When compiling my plugin using nmake -f Makefile.nmake command, I keep 
getting this error message:
..\plugin_api.c(37) : error C2449: found '{' at file scope (missing function 
hea
der?)
..\plugin_api.c(40) : error C2059: syntax error : '}'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

I think this is because in the plugin_api.h, there is
#ifdef PLUGINS_NEED_ADDRESS_TABLE
/* The parent executable will send us the pointer to a filled in
  plugin_address_table_t struct, and we copy the pointers from
  that table so that we can use functions from the parent executable. */
void plugin_address_table_init(plugin_address_table_t*);
#else
#define plugin_address_table_init(x)    ;
#endif

The program always goes to #else part, and the plugin_api.c file always 
cannot compile with the error code above.

Am I missing something in the step to create a plugin?

Thanks..
