Is there an SDK to write dissectors?

Hi,

from what I was able to figure out from the documentation I'd have to build WireShark locally first in order to get import libraries and such.

Is there an SDK of sorts which I have missed when looking for one? What I am looking for is basically the headers and import libraries for MSVC to build my own dissectors.

Does this exist?

Thanks.

Nope. You must install a full dev. environment as per the Developers Guide to build C based dissectors.

Pro Tip #1: Use a VM to contain all the Wireshark build bits separate from the rest of your machine.

Thanks for the swift response (unfortunately I can't upvote it, because it requires 15 rep 🤔).
