Hi,I see that configure option '--disable-idl2wrs' no longer works for 1.8 version. I would like ask what is behind this change? And without knowing exactly what this script does I see that wireshark_be.py and wireshark_gen.py are not installed at the same time... So I'm confused.
Looks like this came in this revision: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc?revision=39985&view=revisionThe commit log doesn't list a reason, but I suppose it might be for simplicity (really, why have an option?).
But, I'm not entirely sure it makes sense to install the script at all: its purpose is to generate dissectors which is a development task (for which you need the source code) not something someone would be doing on an installed system.
