I am trying to compile ethereal for win32, using nmake (microsoft visual studio 6.0), and have got a strange problem:

 

Compiler succeeds, but Linker fails with the following error:

 

        link /NODEFAULTLIB /INCREMENTAL:NO /PDB:NONE /RELEASE /NOLOGO -entry:_DllMainCRTStartup@12 -dll msvcrt.lib oldnames.lib kernel32.lib  ws2_32.lib mswsock.lib advapi32.lib  /DEBUG  /DEF:wtap.def /OUT:wiretap-0.0.dll  /IMPLIB:wiretap-0.0.lib  ascend-grammar.obj  ascend-scanner.obj  ascend.obj buffer.obj  csids.obj  etherpeek.obj  file.obj  file_wrappers.obj  i4btrace.obj  iptrace.obj  lanaly zer.obj  libpcap.obj  netmon.obj  nettl.obj  netxray.obj  ngsniffer.obj  radcom.obj  pppdump.obj  snoop.obj  toshiba.obj  wtap.obj D:\Tools\src\glib\glib-1.3.lib  D:\Tools\src\zlib-1.1.3\zlib.lib

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\PROGRA~1\MIAF9D~1\VC98\BIN\NMAKE.EXE' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

 

I`ve seen VC98\Include\malloc.h. Somewhere there is #define alloca _alloca .... but I didn`t find __alloca in any library.

 

Did anyone confront with such difficulties?
