How to build SPDY dissector for Wireshark (Windows directions). 1) Retrieve wireshark source code. > mkdir D:\src\wireshark > cd D:\src\wireshark > svn co http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk/ trunk 2) Retrieve the spdyshark source code. > cd D:\src > svn co http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/net/tools/spdyshark 3) Follow directions to build Wireshark from http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html - Read all the directions, there are a number of preliminary steps. - You may need to explicitly make C:\wireshark-win32-libs [or C:\wireshark-win64-libs] - Make sure PYTHON environment variable is set (this may not be the case if using the one from depot_tools). Although wireshark seems to require it, it tries to workaround missing PYTHON environment variables unsuccessfully. 4) Make a symbolic link for spdyshark to Wireshark > mklink /D D:\src\wireshark\trunk\plugins\spdyshark D:\src\spdyshark 5) Build the plugin. > cd D:\src\wireshark\trunk\plugins\spdyshark > nmake -f Makefile.nmake all 6) Move the plugin into the wireshark-gtk directory [should automate] > copy D:\src\wireshark\trunk\plugins\spdyshark.dll D:\src\wireshark\trunk\wireshark-gtk2\plugins 7) Start wireshark, and confirm that SPDY plugin is loaded. > D:\src\wireshark\trunk\wireshark-gtk2\wireshark.exe Choose Edit > Preferences to bring up the Preferences dialog. Exand "Protocols" in the left pane of the preferences dialog and confirm that spdyshark is there.
