Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Need help on Reassembly and building ethereal on windows.
Hi,
The TCP reassembly code has been re-written since 0.10.8
Especially addressing the problem you are seeing I think.
The GTP dissector has also been updated.
As Jaap noted use the latest SVN version.
On http://wiki.wireshark.org there are some instructions on how
To build with Cygwin.

Hi,
Two remarks:
1. Why use such ancient source code?
2. Detailed development instruction can be found in the Developer Guide
found on the website www.wireshark.org
Thanx,
Jaap

The code addition has been made in the file packet-gtp.c. We are facing two
issues here.

only the first segment and gives a Malformed packet error. A GTP' PDU can
begin anywhere in a TCP segment. There can be more that one GTP' PDU (Data
record request) or only a portion of one in a single segment. But here, when
a GTP PDU starts in the middle of the TCP segment then ethereal does not
recognize this. It would be great help if you can throw some light on this
and your valuable suggestions to resolve the issue.

only one half of the issue. That is on using this, if a GTP' request starts
in the beginning of the TCP segment and spans 1 and half segment, the code
parses the complete request by combining the first and half of second
segment. However it fails to identify the next GTP' request which is present
in the next half of the second segment.)

great help if you could give us the exact procedure for building the exe for
Windows. Do we have to set the PATH to any specific directory. Do we have to
install any additional packages. If so, what are the additional packages to
be installed? Your help in overcoming these bottlenecks will be very much
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
