Hello,
I keep getting this link error in the latest versions of ethereal (since 0.8.?)
in one of the final link stages on Solaris 5.7.
Tried solving this by re-ordering some declaration/define in epan/plugins.[ch]
(see below) and that indeed solved the build error but then no plugins seem
to be find wherever I put them.
Anybody an idea how to properly solve this ?
Thanks,
Ruud Linders
