Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] linker error trying to build wireshark with basic dissector code from Dev-guide

["David Bunch" <davidvonz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,  I'm trying to build the basic dissector plugin template as found in the developers guide.  It compiles fine, however when it tries to link it, i get this linker error:

_____________________________BEGIN ERROR_______________________________

My plugin_register function is defined as such...


___________________________CODE BEGIN____________________________________

#ifndef ENABLE_STATIC
G_MODULE_EXPORT void
plugin_register(void)
{
	/* register the new protocol, protocol fields and subtrees */
	if (proto_blk_sim_hello == -1) { /* protocol init, done only once */
		proto_register_blk_sim_hello();
	}
}

G_MODULE_EXPORT void
plugin_reg_handoff(void) {
	proto_reg_handoff_blk_sim_hello();
}
#endif
___________________________CODE END____________________________

Any insight into this would be appreciated.  Thanks a lot.
