Without that line it fails differently:

Could you share your OS and your Wireshark version ?

RunningDroid · Answer 2 · Sat Feb 26 2022 13:27:17 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I'm using Void Linux and Wireshark version 3.4.5

Same issue here on Artix Linux, wireshark-qt version 4.0.2-1. pacman -F config.h does not pull up anything for Wireshark.

In case someone stumbles over this: config.h is really missing, but only two defines are needed.

So in packet-minecraft.c if you delete the

#include config.h

and add

#define VERSION_MAJOR 4
#define VERSION_MINOR 0

instead, all fine. I will submit a pull request but I am afraid this project is no longer maintained?

This project is indeed no longer maintained but I'm up to review and merge PRs, however your PR is not the ideal way to solve this.

This is an interesting information anyway that it's able to compile and work without the config.h, i'll try to take a quick look to see if I canno't use something else to get the wireshark version 🤔
