Anders,
Yes I can compile the ethereal source files. The sample foo.c plugin source file is what I am having trouble compiling. Maybe it would be easier if there was a set of clear steps available to follow, for people like me who are rusty/new to C make files ;)
I have the ethereal sources, inside this source directory I am trying to compile the foo.c with the Makefile provided by the developer documentation. That is all I have at the moment. Thanks

Hi,
Yes but can you compile the source files before you do any changes?

Jaap,
I already have the ethereal sources installed. I am just not sure how to
compile the example as no command line examples are in the document. Thanks

Hi,
Maybe you should work through chapter 4 first. This will get your Ethereal
development environment up and running after which you can branch out into
dissector development.
Thanx,
Jaap
