Re: Using DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_SRC

["Jeremy O'Brien" <obrien654j () gmail com>]

Alright, this will help. However it seems as though wireshark isn't
even trying to build my file. As I said, I added it to the
DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_SRC array in my Makefile.common, and reconfigured
and all that jazz, but wireshark doesn't touch it. Clearly I have
missed something else.
