Re: need some more information on bug 8454

Hi Jeff,

I am debugging Wireshark using glibtool  ( using OS X 10.8 ) .

I tried to print the log using following ways :
+ printf(" my method is called ");
+ g_print("my method is called ");
+ g_warning("my method is called ");

but none of them worked for me.

Sorry for previous blank link.
Please see following log : http://pastebin.com/Gasw5WS7


--Thanks and Regards
Subhash Kumar Singh
