Changes required to make plugins developed for 32-bit version to work with 64-bit version?

0

I have developed plugins for Wireshark 2.2.3 32-bit version. But when I use the same .dll files in the 64-bit version of Wireshark-2.2.3 it doesn't work. Please help me with this.

Recompile the code?

Are there any additional changes to the code required?, other than recompiling?

If you programmed it clean there should not be. The compilation will tell you.

Don't assume that a pointer will fit into an int or an unsigned int (or any types that are equivalent, such as gint or guint).

Don't assume it will fit into a long or an unsigned long (or any types that are equivalent, such as glong or gulong), either. It won't, on Windows.

... and all other advice as found in README.developer

Thanks Guy and Jaap for the comments. I will compile and make changes accordingly.
