I have had much the same issue. In my case I had to move from the pcre library for regex to the glib way of doing things. In addition wiretap/file*c have added an additional variable to the function calls to pass error codes and the GTK version of the windows code is moved to its own directory.
BTW, the pcre to glib was necessary because the pcre library is no longer supported for windows compiles (although still referenced in config.nmake).

It ran just fine on 1.4.X So you previously built a plugin dissector against 1.4.x and dropped it into the 1.6.0 plugins directory expecting it to work? This has never been supported because we have yet to lock down the API/ABI, but even if we did, there's no reason to expect a 1.4 plugin to work against 1.6. I don't think we'd ever go so far as to guarantee binary compatibility across anything other than micro versions. You will simply have to recompile your plugin against the 1.6 sources if you intend to use it with 1.6.x. > What are the major changes...??

Where can you get help? -wireshark-devel, ask.wireshark.org, README.developer, the Wireshark source code, your colleagues, someone you pay for help, etc. Basically, the usual places. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
