We wish to build custom dissectors. We will be running Wireshark on windows. Does our development need to happen on a windows enviorment, or can it be done on Linux? thanks Steve

You can build on Windows or Linux or OSX, whatever you prefer. See the Wireshark Developers Guide for complete instructions on setting up the build environment.

Although if you want to create a Windows installer, then running the build on Windows is your only option.
