Thanks. I've finally commited the changes to our CVS tree. Thanks for
the Makefile.nmake changes, too. I didn't realize I could get nmake
to recurse into a subdirectory.
That said, Ethereal-win32 with pcap won't work for me. I've installed
the packet capture driver and WinDump works fine for me. However,
when I try to start a capture with Ethereal-win32, I get:
Can't use filter: Couldn't obtain netmask info (Unknown host name).
Now, this *might* be because I'm running this on an NT machine using
DHCP (and it's running inside a VMware session on my Linux box). *But*,
windump works just fine.
So, I went ahead a committed the changes so that other developers can
help, and I uploaded my binaries to:
http://ethereal.zing.org/distribution/win32/ethereal-20000209.zip
It contains the capturing version of Ethereal, but lets the user
download his/her own pcap NDIS driver from the WinDump site.
