Hi Manik, Thank you for your reply! This is the instructions I got on openflow.org:
============================= install Wireshark and glib: sudo apt-get install wireshark libgtk2.0-dev Make and install: cd utilities/wireshark_dissectors/openflow <=== here make sudo make install ======================================== it seems it needs to goto openflow directory to build wireshark. Is this really necessary? I tried installing openflow and then install wireshark. No errors during installation. But wireshark does not seem to able to decode the messages to/from 6633, no difference before/after installation. Is there a way to verify whether my dissector is installed correctly? Thanks!
