Error while compiling Wireshark source : epan/.libs/libwireshark.so: undefined reference to `proto_reg_handoff_PROTOABBREV'

0

I have written a new dissector for wireshark. I have made changes to Makefile.common and CMakelist.txt. Now when I try to compile the Wireshark source, I get this error.

epan/.libs/libwireshark.so: undefined reference to proto_reg_handoff_PROTOABBREV' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [wireshark] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory/home/sid/ws/wireshark-1.4.3' make[1]: [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sid/ws/wireshark-1.4.3' make: [all] Error 2

Any suggestions??

Thanks, Sidharth

Is the symbol 'proto_reg_handoff_PROTOABBREV' literally present in your dissector code?
