Before installing the new version of Ethereal, 0.10.9, I ran "nmake -f
Makefile.nmake setup" to get the latest packages. The only one that was
out of date was gtk2. Both gtk+-2.4.14.zip and gtk+-dev-2.4.14.zip were
successfully downloaded and extracted.
However, when I compiled Ethereal, built a windows installer with nsis
and installed it on my PC, the "Help -> About Ethereal" dialog revealed
that Ethereal was "Compiled with GTK+2.4.13, ...", which was the version
already present before the upgrade.
I deleted all the extracted directories under C:\ethereal-win32-libs\,
then re-ran "nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup", re-compiled the source,
re-packaged the Ethereal installer, and finally installed it. This time
it revealed the correct version.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Is this the recommended method
to ensure the latest libraries, or is there an easier/better way? For
example, is there any way that this could be automated when an upgrade
is done in order to clean up older versions?
Regards,
Chris
