Yes, just add the function name to libethereal.def. If you add
variables to the list, you have to add the keyword "DATA" to that line
in libethereal.def and "ETH_VAR_IMPORT" instead of "extern" to the
variable declaration in the appropriate header file.
Got my plugin back to life by some additions to libethereal.def and
#include <epan/dissectors/packet-dcerpc.h> as I needed the definition of
e_uuid_t :-)
Hmm, I've seen the DATA tag there before, but in a clean API point of
view it might not be a good way to export data IMHO, although maybe
sometimes not avoidable.
I still vote to remove the plugin API stuff as soon as possible and
bring the documentation up to date.
BTW, I didn't get the last mail, because mailman had temporarily
disabled my mailing list membership due to "excessive bounces" !?
I had some problems with receiving mailing list mails once ago, but no
problems for some weeks (months?) now.
I had to retrieve it from ethereal's mail archive.
Shit happen's ;-)
