Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] error with packet.h

[<atdev.queries@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello ,

 

I tried including a file packet-test.c in the wireshark/plugin/test directory to understand the inclusion of dissection for a test protocol.

But the compilation fails with the following error :

Since these errors are pointing towards standard files( packet.h , prefs.h , etc ) , could anyone please suggest what may be going wrong.

 

Thanks in advance.
