I'm developing a new dissector, and every time I "make" I have to twiddle my
thumbs for a while during the linking process.  Since I like to do a LOT of
incremental testing (I add one header field at a time, then test), and since
patience is not my strong suit, I wanted to cut out all by the minimum necessary
modules to shorten the link time.  I figured I need ethernet, IP, UDP, TCP, and
my application layer protocol, so I tried to modify the Makefile.am to cut out
the decodes I didn't care about.  However, it isn't so easy to do this.  I keep
winding up with unresolved linkages, or other problems during the build.  

Can anyone tell me how to create a "minimal" setup that will "make" without
errors?

Thanks,

Duncan Thomson
