Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] ethereal-0.10.9 compile error in plugins/mate/packet-mate.c on RH 7.3 + gcc 2.96

[Michael Coyle <spammedinbox@xxxxxxxxx>]

Building ethereal 0.10.9 on RH 7.3, I get a
compilation error in plugins/mate/mate.c.

if /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile gcc
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../..

If I remove the "_U_" from line 327 of mate.h, I no
longer receive the error.

# diff mate.h mate.h.new
327c327
< extern int mate_packet(void* _U_, packet_info* _U_,
epan_dissect_t* _U_,const void* _U_);
---
> extern int mate_packet(void*, packet_info*,
epan_dissect_t*, const void*);

Thanks!
Mike

P.S.	Ethereal is a wonderful too!  Thanks for all your
efforts.  I use it all the time.
