 To arrange that your dissector will be built as part of Ethereal, you
 must add the name of the source file for your dissector, and the header
 file that declares your main dissector routine, to the
-'DISSECTOR_SOURCES' macro in the 'Makefile.am' file in the top-level
-directory, and must add the name the object file for the dissector will
-have when built on Windows - if your dissector source file is
-'packet-PROTOABBREV.c', the object file for it will be
-'packet-PROTOABBREV.obj' - to the 'DISSECTOR_OBJECTS' macro in the
-'Makefile.nmake' file in the top-level directory.  (Note that this is
-for modern versions of UNIX, so there is no 14-character limitation on
-file names, and for modern versions of Windows, so there is no
-8.3-character limitation on file names.)

+(otherwise, the source in the release tarballs won't compile).
 
 Please remember to update both files; it may not be necessary to do so
 in order for you to build Ethereal on your machine, but both changes
