Thanks for your answers!

I already checked the files you suggested but i still want to clarify something.
I have built wireshark from source in my developing machine (ubuntu) using:
<obtained the sources with SVN>
apt-get build-dep wireshark
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/home/user/FROGS/wireshark
make
make install
/home/user/FROGS/wireshark
....and runs smoothly
> If you already have the dissector code, than you basically have to alter the various makefiles which are listed in doc/README.Plugin and rebuild wireshark.
> After a complete and successful build, it is sufficient to call make in your plugin directory to update the plugin.
I copied the folder with my plugin files (AUTHORS, ChangeLog, COPYING,
Makefile.am, Makefile.common, Makefile.nmake, moduleinfo.h,
moduleinfo.nmake, packet-xxx.c, plugin.rc.in) in:
/home/user/DEV/wireshark/plugins
....and made all changes in the files according doc/README.plugin.
My question is: Do i MUST build wireshark AGAIN and why??
Isn't it right to build just the plugin (.so & .la files) and then
copy xxx.la & xxx.so into:
/home/user/FROGS/wireshark/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.2.5
(like in windows?), so when i next time launch wireshark, my plugin
dissector will be registered???
Additional question: I want to use my plugin in a different linux
machine runing wireshark. Do i have to make a build there also??...or
it is sufficient to copy the .so & .la files in the plugins directory
and relaunch??
Sorry I'm bothering you with silly linux-questions but i think your
answers will be appreciated from many linux newbies having the same
problems.
Cheers
Spanos
