Yes, that’s the right place to put plugin dissectors now.

In general, I think it’s a good idea to revisit your plugins whenever there’s a minor (or major) version update, 
because things often do change.  I recommend a review and comparison of your files vs. those of a Wireshark-supplied 
plugin such as gryphon, since that’s the one referenced in doc/README.plugins.

$ grep "gryphon epan" CMakeLists.txt
add_plugin_library(gryphon epan)
target_link_libraries(gryphon epan)
install_plugin(gryphon epan)

I thought I didn’t have that file, but found it in docbook.

Installing Asciidoctorj has fixed the problem. Thanks.

If you didn’t install asciidoctorj, then it might be worth re-reading Section 2.2, “Win32/64: Step-by-step Guide”, from 
the Wireshark Developer’s Guide (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html); asciidoctorj is 
mentioned in section 2.2.8.


Yes, I missed that bit. It wasn’t needed in the version I last built.

Regarding custom_plugins.txt, you’re almost right.  The example should read:

;File "${STAGING_DIR}\plugins\${VERSION_MAJOR}.${VERSION_MINOR}\epan\foo.dll"


Assuming the plugins are in the epan directory. Is that the “right” place to put them? As I said previously, they seem 
to have to be in a sub-directory as the CMakeLists.txt format seems to insist e.g for my cnad plugin.

add_plugin_library(cnad epan)

target_link_libraries(cnad epan)

install_plugin(cnad epan)


Thanks for the help
