Regarding the autotools issue, I circumvent this double choice by prepending
/usr/autotools/devel/bin to my PATH, so I always use the most recent
autotools.
After adding AM_CFLAGS = -I. to Makefile.am I was able to successfully build
tethereal for the very first time! Hurray! But I'm unable to capture though.
When capturing with tethereal, my CPU gets utilized at 60-100% while nothing
happens (even ^C does not help for quitting the application). With ethereal
I get a popup with the following message:
"Unexpected error from select: Bad file descriptor"
Anyone a clue?
Regards,
Olivier

| I don't understand what happened on my first build, but now
| I can build
| tethereal.exe without patching it...
|
| However, the binary now outputs:
| $ ./tethereal.exe -D
| (process:3264): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gdir.c: line 67
| (g_dir_open): assertion `path != NULL' failed
| 1. \Device\[...]
|
| FYI, here's the command line used to build the tethereal.o object:
| gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -I./wiretap -I/usr/local/include
| -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -Wall -W -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include
| -pthreads -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include
| -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0
| -I/usr/include/glib-2.0
| -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -c tethereal.c
|
| (so this will be a cygwin build, which we might not want, we want a
| native win32 build, right?)
|
| A note for the pluginS, when trying to configure with plugins, the
| build fails on "multiple definitions of the _version symbol used in
| plugin init; Because this happens at link time, I think
| there's little
| effort to get plugins working under cygwin! I hope I'll have time to
| check this on monday.
|
| Sorry I am out of time (already late), nice week-end list.
