A wireshark plugin must declare what major and minor version it was built with as these are checked when wireshark loads plugins. On the top of that, we use major + minor + micro to adapt to changed API between releases. So far, we were getting these version numbers from wireshark/config.h. And while most distributions install wireshark/config.h file some don't. On distros shipping it it's hack^Wsaved during built by packaging system and installed later. But some distros are not doing that. At least not for new enough wireshark because as of wireshark's commit v2.9.0~1273 the ws_version.h is installed which contains the version macros we need and is installed by wireshark itself. But of course, some distros which have new enough wireshark packaged do not ship ws_version.h and stick to the hack. That is why we can't simply bump the minimal version and switch to the new header file. We need a configure check and adopt our code to deal with both ways. At least for the time being.

About
This is the project of Google Summer of Code 2013 accepted by QEMU.org and libvirt community. The goal of this project is, provide Wireshark dissector for Libvirt RPC protocol. It will provide Libvirt packet overview/detail analysing in Wireshark. Furthermore, it will be able to build(generated) from RPC protocol definition placed in Libvirt source tree to support latest protocol specification.

Installation
Run ./configure with --with-wireshark-dissector option enabled. Then dissector will compiled with libvirt itself.
Add/Remove protocol from dissector's support
Modify variable WS_DISSECTOR_PROTO_FILES in tools/wireshark/src/Makefile.am.
Changing installation directory
You can change installation directory of pluggable shared object(libvirt.so) by specifying --with-ws-plugindir=<path>.
You can install libvirt.so into your local wireshark plugin directory:
$ ./configure --with-wireshark-dissector \
--with-ws-plugindir=$HOME/.wireshark/plugins
