Development environment setup: This works for me. YMMV. Install wireshark source tree: % tar -xjvf /tmp/wireshark-1.2.2.tar.bz2 Within the wireshark tree, check out p25 plugin from op25: % cd wireshark-1.2.2/plugins % svn checkout http://www.sedition.org.au/svn/op25/trunk/wireshark/plugins/p25 A few small changes need to be made to the wireshark tree outside of the plugins directory. Apply a patch to accomplish this: % cd .. % patch -p1 <../op25/wireshark/patches/wireshark-1.2.2.patch Update the build tree with these changes and compile: % ./autogen.sh % ./configure % make
