We distribute the source only in .tar.gz format. It contains
makefiles for Unix and makefiles for MSVC, using nmake.  You'll
need some Unix-style tools to build it anyway, so you might
as well have 'tar' and 'gzip', too. You can get these by
installing the Cygwin package from:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
You should be able to find other win32 versions of these, too.

However, we accidentally left out a few files for the Win32 build
in ethereal-0.8.17a.tar.gz, so I recommend downloading a CVS
image from http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/nightly-builds/
Get the most recent one; it will build under Win32.

Once you have a *.tar.gz file, you need to unarchive it. Recent
versions of winzip can do that, or you can use tar and gzip do to so:

cd work-directory
gzip -dc < /location/of/file/ethereal.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Change into the newly-created directory and read README.win32,
which is the same file as:
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/win32-README.txt

You'll need sed, flex, bison, bash, grep, and Python, too.
