Thanks, that seems to have fixed it.



I’ve also fixed the link error by adding a #include <stdio.h> to the
dissector. So I’ve got everything built.



One other question.



I have some other dissectors that used to live in their own directories in
plugins. The changes to CMakeLists.txt seem to enforce these to be in a sub
directory of plugins. Is that right?


I think, if you specify the full path, they can be anywhere.   You'll also
need to tell the installer where to find the build outputs.

Hi,



I am trying to update to Wireshark 2.6 building for Windows 64bit. I have
a custom GIOP dissector which was previously built for Wireshark 2.2.5

The dissector is in the file packet-q_quentin.c and I have copied that
file to the epan/dissectors directory.



First, adding it to the CMakeListsCustom.txt file in epan/dissectors
causes a build error – packet-q_quentin.c does not exist, except it does.



I have run cmake with a clean build directory and it still fails. So there
seems to be a problem with the custom cmake list stuff.



Try prefixing your dissector with the cmake source path, e.g.



    ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/packet-q_quentin.c



Recent changes to the build infrastructure haven't updated the files not
normally used in our builds, i.e. CMakeListsCustom.txt.example





To try and move on, I added my dissector to the CMakeLists.txt file. This
now builds the dissector, but I get a link error saying unresolved symbol
sprintf (which is used in my dissector).



I’m using Visual Studio 2015



So what do I need to do to make the custom cmake list work and how do I
fix the link error.



Thanks for any help



Regards



Andy Ling
