Dear Guy,
You are absolutely right, but if introducing
--disable-plugins
could be done easyly this would help much!
But I have no experience in writing Makefile.am and configure.
That is why I'm asking if someone could do this.
If this could be done, tethereal would (hopefully) build with
env CFLAGS=-traditional-cpp ./configure --disable-ethereal --disable-plugins
and if you have XWindows installed
env CFLAGS=-traditional-cpp ./configure --disable-plugins
should build ethereal and tethereal.
That would be very helpful, because I could use MacOS X to develop
some dissectors and others could build the tool (at least tethereal)
without modifying the Makefiles to disable the plugins. And I know
some people using ethereal on Mac OS X.
Best regards
Michael
