Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Dissector Portability

[Chiru Reddy <chiru.0123456789@xxxxxxxxx>]

Brain,

I could get the answer

1. If wireshark is compiled on a machine ...... If we place our dissector(.so) in 

   /usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.0.0/.... it works straight away

2. If wireshark for a machine came with distribution (Fedora) ,that does not have the above patch.In such case keep the .so file in /usr/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.0.0/......
   

Please let me know if iam not clear




Regards
Chiru

I am not sure I understand your question.

When I go out in the field... I carry my usb stick with me. On the stick
I will have my .so file and .dll file (for windows and linux). As long
as that machine has wireshark installed on it...I drop my file in place,
start wireshark and see
my dissector working.

That machine now has wireshark and my dissector in place... there is no
need to install wireshark again.

Not sure if this helps...if needed...can you collaborate some more..??

Thanks,
Brian
