Hello Farrah,
Did you read README.win32? It contains information on how you can build on a
Win32 platform. Please note that you require some extra tools installed in
order to compile from CVS. Typically people install a minimal cygwin
environment in order to obtain access to those tools.
Regards,
Olivier

|Hi - I am trying to build ethereal from source code on Windows
|2000. When I
|try to compile the source by running nmake -f makefile.nmake, I get the
|error below. I have already installed flex from http://cygwin.com.
|
|flex -Pascend -oascend-scanner.c ascend-scanner.l
|'flex' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
|operable program or batch file.
|NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'flex' : return code '0x1'
|Stop.
|NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
|Studio\VC98\bin\N
|MAKE.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
|Stop.
|
|
|I have also tried building Ethereal on my Windows XP machine.
|When trying to
|compile the file airopeek9.c, I get error messages stating
|that it can not
|open errno.h, stdio.h, and stddef.h.
|
|Can you give me some insight on what I'm doing wrong?
|
|Thank You
