Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Unresolved symbols when building plugin under Windows

["Michael Lum" <mlum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to build a GSM MAP plugin under Windows 2K, using VS.NET C++.

The plugin uses asn1 functions and I'm not sure how to setup a
Makefile.nmake
file.  (Under Solaris I didn't do anything special to Makefile.)

I tried adding ..\..\asn1.obj which required I add ..\..\epan\ethereal.lib
but now I get the following messages:

        link -dll /out:gsm_map.dll packet-gsm_map.obj ..\plugin_api.obj
..\..\a
sn1.obj  ..\..\epan\ethereal.lib

C:\ethereal-win32-libs\glib\lib\gmodule-2.0.lib
