The Wireshark build infrastructure (CMake) is set up so that the build bitness is (mostly) hidden from code, it sounds as though you're doing something wrong.

What version of Wireshark are you building and on what platform?

Assuming you're building a dissector plugin, the libraries that your plugin will link with is set by the target_link_libraries() statement in the CMakeList.txt for your plugin. Normally this will include epan which is the link to libwireshark. If you have anything odd here, you'll have to fix that.

Just clutching at straws, can you confirm you are using a separate build directory for the 32 and 64 bit builds? You can't build both in the same build dir, both builds can share the same source dir.

The simple answer is in exactly the same way as you add a plugin for 32 bit Wireshark. With your plugin source code in the same spot in the source tree, open an x64 VS build prompt, create an x64 build dir, run the CMake generation step (indicating you want an x64 build) and then run msbuild.
