Hi
I was compiling ethereal with VC++ nmake utility.
Make process got terminated while making plugin.c.
Giving error Xplugin_table.h not found.
Just to diagnose the problem i went through the plugins\Makefile.nmake
only to find out that these Xplugin_table.h  file (and several other) are
generated by plugin_gen.py.


Xplugin_api.c: xyzzy plugin_gen.py plugin_api.c
$(PYTHON) plugin_gen.py xyzzy


Now input to this script is generated by
gcc -aux-info xyzzy -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I$(GLIB_DIR) -I.. -c plugin_api_list.c

Python is availabe and path is set in config.nmake but gcc is not availabe
on my system.
I tried to use cygwin gcc by setting cygwin gcc bin path in config.nmake.
But make process is still crashing at the same point .

Please tell me what is the solution of this problem as I am struck.

Yes, this is a probelmatic dependency.  I expect things to work
better when you remove xyzzy from the Xplugin_api.c dependency list.
All the X* files in the relaese should be correct and do not need
regeneration.
