Hi, I'm writing a dissector that I've put in the plugins directory. Some of the code being called by my dissector is C++ code. The C++ code has been compiled into a library. Currently, I am calling "make" from my wireshark installation directory, which compiles foo.o with gcc and then attempts to link foo.o with my C++ library with gcc as well (to form foo.so). However, I believe I want to use g++ to link, right? Right now after I call "make", I am separately issuing a g++ link command. Is there any clever way to integrate the g++ link command into the "make" so that I don't have to link with a separate call?

Also, I'm not too familiar with shared objects. It looks like any library I link in has to be compiled with the -fPIC flag - is that right?
