Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] cygpath: cannot create short name of C:\wireshark-win32-libs

On Windows XP when trying to run the Automated library dowload

the command

nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup

fails if the directory C:\wireshark-win32-libs does not exist.

 

Easily solved by creating the directory before attempting the download.

Output showing the problem given below.
