Qt plugin deployment in wireshark protocol list

0

Hi I have developed a Plugin(.dll) in qt and i want to add the particular plugin into the wireshark's protocol list. I tried out by copying the dll file into the plugins folder or wireshark, it didn't work out.

Please any one give me some suggestions for installing the Plugins in wireshark. and how to code for wireshark.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Im not sure what you mean by "in qt" have you developen a plugin that does something in the GUI? If it's a "normal" protocol plugin it should work to do as you have described if the plugin was developed with the same verion of Wireshark as the installed one. How did it "not work out"? Did you receive any error output? If you start wireshark from the build directory is your protocol available then? If not you may have done something wrong. Which in Wireshark version are you doing your development? Have you compared your Makefiles with other plugins?
