RE: Adding patches to wireshark...

Dear Holger, While compiling wireshark ,after patching 'gsm_abis_oml' I got the following : gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I./../.. -I./.. -I/usr/local/include -DPLUGIN_DIR=\"/usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.5.0\" -Werror -DINET6 "-D_U_=__attribute__((unused))" -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wpointer-arith -Wno-pointer-sign -Warray-bounds -Wcast-align -Wformat-security -I/usr/local/include -D_REENTRANT -pthread -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/directfb -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -MT libdissectors_la-packet-gsm_abis_oml.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libdissectors_la-packet-gsm_abis_oml.Tpo -c packet-gsm_abis_oml.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libdissectors_la-packet-gsm_abis_oml.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors packet-gsm_abis_oml.c: In function 'proto_register_abis_oml': packet-gsm_abis_oml.c:1555: error: assignment from incompatible pointer type packet-gsm_abis_oml.c:1556: error: assignment from incompatible pointer type make[5]: *** [libdissectors_la-packet-gsm_abis_oml.lo] Error 1 inside the patched file it contains an error , can u advise how to fix it ?

Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols and search for something that contains OML, Abis, A-bis in the name. (Actually it is A-bis OML and sorts at the top). 2.) You can look at the dissector sourcecode and search for 'register_dissector'. It normally comes at the bottom of the dissector sourcecode. The string is the dissector name. 3.) the convention of epan appears to be packet-FOO.c where FOO is the protocol name. In your case this would be 'gsm_abis_oml'. Wireshark has nice completion in the filter bar. By just typing 'g' for GSM it will show you all GSM protocols it knows, it should list gsm_abis_oml.
