This project is a C++ porting of my orignal JS Dissector Generator for Wireshark : WiresharkDissectorGenerator.
In order to compile :
- GCC 5 or later (Support for C++17)
- [Alternative] Clang 5 or later.
Following your compiler, you might need to modify the Makefile (CXX variable). By default the project use g++ to compile.
This project depends on two "header-only" projects (included in external_include folder) :
- nlohmann/json (v3.9.1) : JSON for modern C++
- tristanpenman/valijson (v0.3) : JSON schema validation
- Clone the repository
- Compile the library using the
Makefile - Include
WiresharkDissectorGenerator.hppand link the library to your projet.
