I see a "configure" script in the top level directory,
but not an autogen.sh. Is this file present in all
releases and OSs? And what does it do?

Also, does this script automatically update the Makefiles?
Your directions specify to update Makefile.am and .nmake,so
who updates the "makefile"?

Finally, after building the plugins/giop subdirectory, do
I need to go rebuild the top level directories?

I followed all the steps in your guide, except doing a
make before the packet generators since someone had already
done that, but placed them in a separate directory.

Thanks,
Anjela

./autogen.sh is run from the top directory, not the plugins
directory.

I normally do the following to get ethereal built before
building plugins. HAve you done this

1. untar the ethereal CVS tree
   tar -zxvf ethereal-2002-06-05.tar.gz
   cd ethereal-2002-06-05

2. ./autogen.sh in top directory
3. make
4. make install (as root)

These steps are needed to build ethereal anyway, before I
start adding  GIOP plugins.


This is mentioned in the instructions at
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5453

NO, leave Makefile alone .. Its just Makefile.am and Makefile.nmake
in the plugins directory that needs updating.

I build on Linux, but questions are always welcome :-)
