Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] building ethereal GIOP/corba plugin

["Patnaik, Anjela" <APatnaik@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think in my case, there are multiple IDL files
but not necessarily a master IDL file that includes
other IDL files.

Now another question is:
after I generate the C files, do I update the
Makefiles in the src directory and the plugins
directory or just the plugins directory?

When updating the Makefile, do I add the
file names under the DISSECTOR_SRC and also
update plugin_src and plugin_libs or not??

And do I need to build both directories and if
so in what order?

Finally, has anyone built using these makefiles
with Cygwin compiler? I had some trouble in cygwin
recognizing the idl2eth.sh so I called omniidl directly.

I am running on Windows 2k.

THANK YOU

Hi,

I generally put the name of the master IDL file only, then the 
other IDL's are included as required when omniidl parses it.

eg: 
 omniidl -p ./ -b ethereal_be -nc masterfilename.idl > test.c
