Porting Ethereal dissectors to Wireshark

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to port some dissectors from Ethereal to Wireshark plugins. They work  and build without any problems in 
Ethereal (version 0.99.0) but when I try to separate and build them in Wireshark I have a lot of linking (unresolved 
symbol) problems. It seems like that functions/data structures in ethereal files (and needed and included by the 
dissectors) have been removed or renamed in the corresponding Wireshark files (usually located under the epan 
directory). 
If I import in the plugin the Ethereal version of the included files I can build some plugins (for others there are too 
many files to import).

Is it so difficult to port a dissector from Ethereal to Wireshark? Reading the code they seems quite similar. Am I 
doing something wrong? Is there any guide dedicated to the transition from Ethereal to Wireshark?

Thank you in advance,
G
