I am new to wireshark and I have a wireshark file containing packets seen over an AMBE+2 system. I've been given a github link with a makefile to use as a dissector(?)/decoder to help analyze the data but I do not know how to use this file with wireshark. Is there a simply guide on what to do to make them compatible? As far as I've searched online it seems I need to recompile wireshark using a bunch of different programs, but the one guide I tried didn't work for me. Any help or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. The following is the github link: https://github.com/pbarfuss/mbelib-te...

That GitHub link would be nice to see, so we can give a more to-the-pont answer.

Where are the instructions that show it works with Wireshark?

There are no instructions indicating it works with Wireshark, but it was given to me and I was under the impression that it would be compatible. I'm still new to wireshark so if it doesn't look compatible it would be good to know.

That project is very old. Looking at the GitHub makefile it appears to create a few binaries that have nothing to do with Wireshark. Those binaries might be used by a Wireshark dissector but that doesn't seem to be present in the project.
