I rebuilt Wireshark to see if I could find any errors in the build.  I
came across a few things.


        xcopy gryphon\*.dll 0.99.2 /d
gryphon\gryphon.dll
1 File(s) copied
        xcopy h223\*.dll 0.99.2 /d
stats_tree\stats_tree.dll
1 File(s) copied
        xcopy v5ua\*.dll 0.99.2 /d

(... more uninteresting stuff here)

v5ua\v5ua.dll
1 File(s) copied
        cd ..
        tshark.exe -G | perl doc\dfilter2pod.pl
doc\wireshark-filter.pod.template

        rm -f *.dll
        rm -rf etc
        rm -rf lib
        cd plugins

        rm -rf 0.99.2


It actually removes the 0.99.2 directory after it builds the plug-ins.
And the whole "Cannot find module" error looks very similar to the error
I get at run time.   Any thoughts?

Hi,

No, these are not important for compilation on Win32. You do compile in
a
Win32 command window, do you. I mean, not in a cygwin window.
Another thing to watch for is using nmake, not make.

Other than this I can't give you more advice.

Thanx,
Jaap
