Hello, I want to start development of a dissector.

 

Therefore I need the “SDK”: headers and libraries of Ethereal. I downloaded ethereal-1.1.0-SVN-18189.tar.gz and unzipped it. Reading README.Win32 I found that I need to run “nmake –f makefile.nmake setup”. This makefile referes to a program “rm” that is neither part of Windows XP nor Visual C++. I know this program only from a Unix system.

 

The README.Win32 suggests that using CYGWIN is not a good choice, if I want to run the dissector DLL on a PC without CYGWIN. So how do I setup and configure the “SDK” without CYGWIN? Are there some small packages with stuff like “rm” to download anywhere?

 

Is there a way to manually download additional libs and configure the “SDK”?

 

I also don’t have python and perl at my PC. Since I don’t want to build doc’s and other fancy stuff, I hope I wont need it.

 

 

Regards,

Helge
