Hello Developers,

My goal is to use some ethereal feature within Java via JNI.

I got the ethereal sources from anonymous CVS repository.

The compilation and linking within eclipse using MSVC++
enviroment on Windos 2000 was succesfull after I added
/Defaultlib:MSVCRT.lib to LDFLAGS and /MT to CFLAGS.

For general testing I already installed the binary installation, that is
running very well on my computer!

The Problem:
The compilation of ethereal.exe is starting fine, but it is not possible to
start capturing;

Errordescription:

->Capture->Start

...Ethereal Capture Options pops up!

->enter Filename=>"Ethereal: Error"->"The file to which the capture would be
saved couldn`t be created for some unknown reason"


Alternative I tried to load an existing capture file:
->File->Open->Filename=>"Ethereal: Error The file XXX.xxx could not be
opened: Bad file descriptor.


If I use the release 0.9.15 sources there is no different behavior.

Could some body advice me whats going wrong.
thank you in advance
Hans Russo
