I need some direction from some folks smarter than me: I need to understand, and possibly make some customizations to, the DIS dissector (packet-dis.c). I understand that I can make those changes and run the full wireshark build, but that can be a very laborious and time-consuming task. Consequently, I'm thinking that I'd like to build packet-dis.c as a shared library plugin and have wireshark pick up my customized version and use that instead of the built-in version.
1. is that possible? 2. Can I do the special plugin build of packet-dis.c right from the ./epan/dissectors/ subdirectory where it currently resides? Or should I put a copy of it off in my own working directory/sandbox and build it from there? And lastly: 3. Is there anywhere I can find clear instructions on how best to achieve this? All the plugin dev docs I find go through the very lengthy discussion of how to write a plugin and use the available API, but at least for the moment, I am mostly only interested in the build process.
