Hi all,
Hope somebody can help.
I'm providing more details about the problem I'm having with
building ethereal 9.4 on Windows NT.
I've downloaded the following:
zlib-114-dev.zip
gtk+-dev-20001226.zip
extralibs-dev-20000722.zip
WPdpack_2_3.zip
from http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/development
I also installed cygwin.
>>>>
The PROBLEM I'm getting is when I compile on Windows NT, when I run
nmake -f makefile.nmake
is that cl.exe issues a prompt saying
"cl.exe - Unable to locate DLL"
but it doesn't give me any other details, ie te DLL that is missing.
This occurs in the directory wiretap.
I've seen the following message.
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200206/msg00240.html
so does that mean ethereal version 9.4 can not compile on Windows
NT.
Anyway I think my problem is a PATH setting or environment setting one.
But I've tried everything I could think of.
My config.nmake looks like this
>>> START

# nmake and cygwin.

What is makensis.exe anyway and where do I get it?
Thanks in advance.
