(The wireshark-dev mailing list is the correct place for this discussion).

You first need to be able to build Wireshark from source.

The Developer's Guide has lots of information about the process of 
setting up a build environment, obtaining the sources and doing the build.

See: http://www.wireshark.org:   Develop ! Developer's Guide

Once you've accomplished that you can then apply the patch
attached to Bug #3422 (using the 'patch' program) and then rebuild 
Wireshark.

The patch (presumably) has all the required source & Makefile changes to 
build the genisys dissector as part of Wireshark.

I should note, however, that the patch is a year old so it may not apply 
cleanly against the current source tree or even the sources for the 
current 'stable' version of Wireshark (1.2.6).
