Thanks Guy,

I did read the readme file and did as you have said.
I ran the VCVARS32 for setting the environment (Though I am
not sure whether you have to make any changes to this file)

I ran the cleanbld and this was the output I got:
C:\ETHERE~1.5>cleanbld

C:\ETHERE~1.5>echo off
Could not Find C:\ETHERE~1.5\config.h
Could not Find C:\ETHERE~1.5\epan\config.h

and then ran nmake -f makefile.nmake

The following is a sample of the output:

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\BIN\NMAKE.EXE' : return co
de '0x2'
Stop.

My config.nmake section is as follows:
GLIB_DIR=C:\ethereal-win32-libs\glib\src\glib
GTK_DIR=C:\ethereal-win32-libs\gtk+\src\gtk+
ZLIB_DIR=C:\ethereal-win32-libs\zlib-1.1.3\zlib-1.1.3
PCAP_DIR=C:\ethereal-win32-libs\Wpdpack\Wpdpack

Do I have to change the above locations? Please can you 
suggest what I should do.

with regards,
Gautham Thavva
