general inquiry on building dissectors for wireshark-3.4.4

Hello,

Where can I find a complete "text based" dissector example that builds with
the current Wireshark cmake build method used in wireshark-3.4.4? Does that
question even make sense? I fear most people reading my question won't
understand what I'm after.

I've watched numerous YouTube videos by Graham Bloice and Richard Sharpe
that describe 3 primary methods for Wireshark dissector development:
1. Text based
2. Scripting Language based
3. C based

In the meantime I have built wireshark-2.6.20 using the older ./autogen.sh,
configure, make build method. This gives me hope I might have some success
with at least 1 (one) text-based dissector example that uses that build
method:
https://wiki.wireshark.org/ASN1_plugin

If I were an expert with cmake (which might be easier than I think) I would
probably update the text-based examples to build using cmake. But I don't
know how to do that (yet).
