retag add tags

I have created a dissector and added it as dll to the plugins of the Wireshark, but am getting the above error when I start the Wireshark. I also checked G_MODULE_EXPORT const gchar version[] = VERSION, and the corresponding header but could not find the version in Wireshark to add to the program. How can I solve this ? Thank you in advance.

Your plugin CMakeLists.txt is probably missing one or either of the following lines, these are from the Gryphon dissector plugin:

include(WiresharkPlugin)

# Plugin name and version info (major minor micro extra)
set_module_info(gryphon 0 0 4 0)

The CMakeLists.txt requirements are specified in the Developers Guide section on setting up a dissector.

It's set in the CMakeList.txt line that calls set_module_info(...)

Note that this is the version of the plugin; since you are the author of this particular plugin, you define what the version of this particular plugin is - it's not something that Wireshark defines.
