I've followed chapter 9 to the end of 9.2 in the developers guide for writing plugins, but I get the error "The plugin lib DissectorLib.so has neither a register routine, a register_tap_listener or a register_wtap_module or a register_codec_module routine. I'm using wireshark 2.6 on Linux Red Hat 7.5. There isn't any mention of this info in the tutorial, so all I've got is the code specified in that. I'm writing in C.

Section 9.2.1 in the guide has the registration routine, proto_register_foo(), have you somehow omitted that from your source?

Note it must be named in that form, void proto_register_xxx(void) as a build tool scans for such functions and creates the code to call the registration functions.

Hi. Yes I've got that routine in my code. Do I simply add the lib DissectorLib.so file into usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/2.6/epan/ or am I missing something?

So you've successfully built the .so and now you're trying to add it to an "installed" version of Wireshark?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do.
