Hi,

I am trying to create wireshark dissector plugin. I have referred README.plugins file. I have to create plugin using custom extension. I followed all the steps mentioned in README.plugins upto 3.1. But i am getting error as follows,

-- Configuring done
CMake Error at cmake/modules/WiresharkPlugin.cmake:32 (add_library):
  Cannot find source file:

    packet-75f_wirless.C

  Tried extensions .c .C .c++ .cc .cpp .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp
  .hxx .in .txx
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  plugins/75f_wireless/CMakeLists.txt:55 (add_plugin_library)

CMake Error: CMake can not determine linker language for target: 75f_wirless
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: C:/Development/wireshark

So let me know how can remove this linker error.

Thanks, Nilesh

Which version of Wireshark are you attempting to build with?

Its 2.4.2.

Is the capital C causing grief?

Note the spelling of the filename in error message, assuming it was correctly transcribed:

Cannot find source file:
    packet-75f_wirless.C

Do you have a typo in the plugin CMakeLists.txt, misspelling the source file name?

It was incorrect spelling. So it got resolved.

Thank you very much.

Thanks, Nilesh.

Use the statement add_plugin_library(75f_wireless) or add_plugin_library(75f_wireless epan) for Wireshark 2.4 and Wireshark developmen version respecitvely.

Are we missing a docs update for the recent changes?

add_plugin_library call is already there in CMakeList.txt in plugin/75f_wireless folder. I have followed gryphon example as mentioned in README.plugins. Thanks, Nilesh

@grahamb: I hope not, I've worked on README.plugins in master quite a bit.

@nileshbhadule: Sounds oke. Could you post (on pastebin or something) a directory listing of your plugin directoryand the contents of your plugins CMakeLists.txt file.?
