Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Asn2eth: issue when trying with Camel/UMTS ASN1 description

["Jacques, Olivier (OCBU-Test Infra)" <olivier.jacques@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to create a Camel/UMTS dissector with asn2eth tool.

The ASN1 file is coming from this specification (29078-630 modules.txt file): http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/Archive/29_series/29.078/29078-630.zip

I'm starting, based on Tim's Camel alpha dissector (http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200502/msg00330.html), the only thing is that this one will be more complete.

 

But when launching asn2eth script, I have an error message "__main__.ParseError: LexToken(DOT,'.',71)":

 

C:\transfer\ethereal\winbuild\ethereal\asn1\camel.oja>nmake

        python ../../tools/asn2eth.py -X -b -e -p camel -c camel.cnf -s packet-camel-template camel.asn
ASN.1 to Ethereal dissector compiler
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../tools/asn2eth.py", line 4485, in ?

    ast = yacc.parse(s, lexer=lexer, debug=pd)
  File "C:\transfer\ethereal\winbuild\ethereal\tools\yacc.py", line 311, in parse
    tok = self.errorfunc(errtoken)

    raise ParseError(str(t))
__main__.ParseError: LexToken(DOT,'.',71)
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'python' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

 

Could it be because of "ANY and parameterized types" as described in the wiki: http://wiki.ethereal.com/Asn2eth_20Handmassaging_20the_20ASN_20file ?

I just don't understand the error message I guess :)

 

Thanks,

Olivier.
