Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] make errors in linux

Hi,

How do you move from Windows to Linux and manage to build with the .nmake files???
Linux build go like this: ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
No Makefile.nmake involved. Have a good look in doc/README.plugins to see what 
you need to do to integrate your plugin build into the Linux build process.

Thanx,
Jaap
