Modify argument ``input`` in ``tools/wireshark/src/libvirt/meson.build``.
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:
