I'm having some trouble just trying to figure out how to do a simple
compile and install of a ethereal dissector plugin. I am using OS X on
intel. I downloaded the source code for 0.99.0 and I see that there is
a plugins directory in the source tree. If I run ./configure and then
make in the plugins directory I get some *.la files. Then I tried
copying one of the *.la files into the plugins directory of my darwin
ports install of ethereal (i.e. /opt/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0/)
I can't seem to get anything to work. I tried modifying the source code
of one of the plugins to use a different tcp port just to see if it is
working, but it didn't seem to do anything. Is there a way to tell if
the plugin has loaded or not? Do I need a *.so file? All of the other
plugins in that directory have *.la and *.so, but when I compile I only
get a *.la file. Sorry for my ignorance. I'm kind of in a time crunch
and I don't see much documentation on this. Any help would be appreciated.
