That's what I needed. I was close to it, but I didn't get the right
starting point for regenerating.
What's missing IMHO is a cmake target for that. Maybe I will take some
time to add one (many, actually).
Thanks Darien.


There is a target for asn1, that's why an asn1.vcxproj file is generated on
windows, and presumably something similar for the generator of choice on
other platforms.

However, the asn1 target, and for that matter the other generated
dissectors, dcerpc and pidl, are excluded from the top-level build because
they are added with the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL property.

See https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.10/prop_dir/EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL.html and
epan/dissectors/CMakeLists.txt.

Hi
I've done this several times and the way I do it is:
1. Look for the final dissector file, should be under
epan/dissector/packet-xxx.c (in this case packet-snmp.c)
2. Copy the build command for asn2wrs as seen in the 4th line. In this
case it looks like this:
asn2wrs.py -b -p snmp -c ./snmp.cnf -s ./packet-snmp-template -D . -O
../.. snmp.asn
3. Open the command prompt in your dissector's asn1 folder
(/epan/dissector/asn1/snmp/)
4. Run asn2wrs.py using it's full path. In my case it's
"C:\Development\wireshark\tools\asn2wrs.py" and add the parameters you
saw in the generated file
so it should look line this:
C:\Development\wireshark\tools\asn2wrs.py -b -p snmp -c ./snmp.cnf -s
./packet-snmp-template -D . -O ../.. snmp.asn

This should create the new packet-snmp.c and .h files under
epan/dissectors/ and override the existing ones

*Subject:* [Wireshark-dev] Regenerate asn dissector
Hi
I've modified epan/dissectors/asn1/snmp/packet-snmp-template.c and I
want to regenerate the corresponding dissector.
I've found the cmake target epan/dissectors/asn1/snmp/generate_dissector-snmp,
but building it doesn't regenerate the dissector.
What's the missing step?
Thanks.
Dario.
