Hello,
 
I re-installed my PC and I'm trying to re-setup my wireshark build
environment. After a fresh svn checkout, a nmake -f makefile.nmake
distclean, I can't run "nmake -f makefile.nmake setup": win32setup.sh
complains about cl that can't be found:
---------- 
C:\transfer\ethereal\winbuild\ethereal>nmake -f makefile.nmake setup
 
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility   Version 6.00.8168.0

Checking for required applications:

ERROR: Can't find cl. This is probably an optional cygwin package not
yet installed. Try to install it using cygwin's setup.exe!
 
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'bash' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

(side note: cl is not part of cygwin, maybe we should change the message
there).
But cl is in the path (I ran vcvars32.bat).
----------
C:\transfer\ethereal\winbuild\ethereal>cl

usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ]
----------
The issue seems to be that cygwin's "which" can't find "cl". In
win32setup.sh, this piece of code is checking the app:
		APP_PATH=`cygpath --unix $APP`
		if [ -x "$APP_PATH" -a ! -d "$APP_PATH" ] ; then
			APP_LOC="$APP_PATH"
		else
			APP_LOC=`which $APP_PATH 2> /dev/null`
		fi

Running which and cygpath, I get:
---------------------
C:\transfer\ethereal\winbuild\ethereal>which cl
cl: Command not found.

C:\transfer\ethereal\winbuild\ethereal>cygpath --unix cl
cl
---------------------

Is there anyone that encountered the same problem? Any idea?

Thanks a lot,
Olivier.
