Are you using cygwin's perl or ActiveState's perl Windows port?


Cygwin's, I think.


I remember that I had problems building the documentation with cygwin's perl. I am using ActiveState's for a long time.

I will do some tests with cygwin's perl.


I did that (it's "C:\ethereal-win32-libs", with GLib extracted into
"C:\ethereal-win32-libs\glib" and GTK+ extracted into
"C:\ethereal-win32-libs\gtk+") - but that directory is *NOT* in my path
setting.

Does it have to be?


No, it doesn't. Tethereal shouldn't need the GTK dlls.


But it *does* need the GLib dlls.

I think I got it now.
"C:\ethereal-win32-libs" should not be added to PATH.
In your case "C:\ethereal-win32-libs\glib\bin" should be added to PATH and that should be done in current config.nmake in line 127:

# Set path to some required DLLs
PATH=.\wiretap;$(GLIB_DIR)\bin;$(GETTEXT_DIR)\bin;$(ICONV_DIR)\bin;$(PATH)
