Hi Wolfgang,

I tried cloning the repository and building from the scratch here, and it's working.
Did you follow the instructions in the README, including installing the dependencies?

Please, provide us with more information about the SO and versions involved.

Hi Allan,

OK removed and updated all kind of stuff and checked for dependencies. Wireshark is compiling fine from source.
I am no longer building info a dedicated subdirectory to easier match the path but I still get this:

[23:36:28][wriedel@wriedel-mbp:/usr/local/wireshark/OpenFlow/ng-of-dissector/src]$ scons install
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.

I using latest wireshark-1.9.0-SVN-47135 and barnstorm-ng-of-dissector-6ac464c9dc56.tar.gz

Thank you,

Hi Wolfgang,

You are using the ng-of-dissector. We sort of forked it a while ago and added support for OpenFlow 1.2 and 1.3.
I haven't been following their development, so I can't help you. It might be some recent change, or perhaps even your Wireshark version (I remember it working with Wireshark 1.4 and 1.6).

In Wireshark 1.10.3 I was able to fix this issue by replacing dissector_add() with dissector_add_uint(). It seems that dissector_add() is just an alias that no longer exists in newer versions of Wireshark.
