Procedure for converting a Corba idl file into an ethereal dissector

1.To write the C code to stdout. idl2eth <your file.idl> eg:

idl2eth echo.idl

2.To write to a file, just redirect the output.

idl2eth echo.idl > packet-test-idl.c

You may wish to comment out the register_giop_user_module() code and that will leave you with heuristic dissection.

If you don't want to use the shell script wrapper, then try steps 3 or 4 instead.

3.To write the C code to stdout.

Usage: omniidl -p ./ -b ethereal_be <your file.idl> eg:

omniidl -p ./ -b ethereal_be echo.idl

4.To write to a file, just redirect the output.

omniidl -p ./ -b ethereal_be echo.idl > packet-test-idl.c

You may wish to comment out the register_giop_user_module() code and that will leave you with heuristic dissection.

5.Copy the resulting C code to your ethereal src directory, edit the 2 make files to include the packet-test-idl.c

cp packet-test-idl.c /dir/where/ethereal/lives/ edit Makefile.am

edit Makefile.nmake

6.Run configure

./configure (or ./autogen.sh)

7.Compile the code make

8.Good Luck !!
