To arrange that your dissector will be built as part of Ethereal, you
must add the name of the source file for your dissector, and the header
file that declares your main dissector routine, to the
'DISSECTOR_SOURCES' macro in the 'Makefile.am' file in the top-level
directory, and must add the name the object file for the dissector will
have when built on Windows - if your dissector source file is
'packet-PROTOABBREV.c', the object file for it will be
'packet-PROTOABBREV.obj' - to the 'DISSECTOR_OBJECTS' macro in the
'Makefile.nmake' file in the top-level directory. (Note that this is
for modern versions of UNIX, so there is no 14-character limitation on
file names, and for modern versions of Windows, so there is no
8.3-character limitation on file names.)
'DISSECTOR_SOURCES' macro in the 'Makefile.am' and 'Makefile.nmake'
files in the top-level directory. (Note that this is for modern
versions of UNIX, so there is no 14-character limitation on file names,
and for modern versions of Windows, so there is no 8.3-character
limitation on file names.)
If your dissector also has its own header files, you must add them to
the 'noinst_HEADERS' macro in the 'Makefile.am' file in the top-level
directory, so that it's included when release source tarballs are built
(otherwise, the source in the release tarballs won't compile).
Please remember to update both files; it may not be necessary to do so
in order for you to build Ethereal on your machine, but both changes
