Hello,
First of all, thank you for your answer,

As OS, I have Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop 64 bits. For GNUTLS installation I 
followed these steps :

1- Install the prequisites:  sudo apt-get install build-essential 
nettle-dev libgmp-dev
2- Download the GnuTLS source files:  wget 
ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/gcrypt/gnutls/v3.1/gnutls-3.1.23.tar.xz
3- Extract the files:  unxz gnutls-3.1.23.tar.xz && tar -xvf 
gnutls-3.1.23.tar
4- Change into the build directory:  cd gnutls-3.1.23
5- Compile and install:  ./configure && make && make install
6- Add a symlink to your libgnutls.so.28 file so gnutls-cli can tell us 
what version we are
running:  ln -s /usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.28 /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.28

After, to create my extension, I followed this tutorial 
(http://gnutls.org/manual/html_node/TLS-Extension-Handling.html), for 
compilation I did these commands:

1-  ./configure --enable-myExtension  :

         [..............]

           version:              3.1.23 shared 49:3:21

           Hardware accel:       x86-64
           PKCS#11 support:      yes
           TPM support:          no

         configure: Optional features:
         (note that included applications might not compile properly
         if features are disabled)

           DTLS-SRTP support:    yes
           OCSP support:         yes

           local libopts:        no
           local libtasn1:       no

            configure: Optional libraries:

           Guile wrappers:       no
           C++ library:          yes
           DANE library:         no
           OpenSSL compat:       yes

         configure: System files:

           Trust store pkcs:
           Trust store file: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
           Blacklist file:
           CRL file:
           DNSSEC root key file: /etc/unbound/root.key

2- make

./../gnutls_datum.h:26:24: error: unknown type name 'gnutls_datum_t'
  int _gnutls_set_datum (gnutls_datum_t * dat, const void *data,
                         ^
./../gnutls_datum.h:27:26: error: unknown type name 'size_t'
                           size_t data_size);
                           ^
[........]


/gnutls_int.h:726:3: error: unknown type name 'gnutls_buffer_st'
....
gnutls_int.h:782:3: error: unknown type name 'gnutls_buffer_st'
.....
myExtension.c 15:11 : error: unknown type name 'opaque'
             const opaque * data,

[..............etc]


Finaly, for the other extensions, for exemple when I execute this commande:
gnutls-cli --verbose --port 443www.ietf.org  --heartbeat,
With Wireshark, I can see the add of the new extension.


Nb: Even when I dont touch the source code of gnutls and when I juste 
modifie the gnutls_int.h file for exemple :
GNUTLS_EXTENSION_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHMS = 99, /*instead of 13*/
and after executing with ./configure, make, sudo make install, In 
wireshark the Type of the extension did not change and still equal to 
000d that it means 13 in decimal.

Think you.
