Hi, I am carrying out an investigation to see how easy it is to add a new protocol dissector to a Windows based build of the Ethereal analyzer. From reading the various documentation it is not exactly clear how I get the source code for Ethereal on to my Windows 2000 PC in order to do the build with the new dissector. I see there are files ending in ......tar.gz but I cannot get anything out of them using WinZip. I transfered the .tar.gz to my Unix system and used gzip -d and although I could see a whole lot of concatenated listings I couldn't see the individual source files. By the way I don't have CVS either.
What is the easiest way for me to extract the complete set of source files and their associated directories so that I can do a build? Am I on the right track? Is there a need to do a complete build if you're adding a new dissector? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve H.
