How and which version libprotobuf to install ?

0

I intend to write protobuf dissector , for that i read in http://protobuf-wireshark.googlecode.com/files/README-runtime-v0.1.txt , that we have to install libprotobuf?

Step 2: Prepare Protocol Buffers

We assume that libprotobuf is installed in a well-known location.

How to go about it ? Please help

Not really anything to do with Wireshark as it's a separate project, but I guess you need to build protobuf.

Slightly worrying that the protobuf dissector is based on Wireshark 1.0.2 which is really ancient. If you do get it to compile with a more recent version, please post back here.
