Hi Andrew,
Maybe your linker errors stems from bad compiler options. Initially I
recommended to remove some default libs and to force msvcrxx thanks to
/DEFAULTLIB and /NODEFAULTLIB options in LOCAL_LDFLAGS (in
the config.nmake file). Actually, it was probably a bad solution and I
recommend to remove these options and to set the /MD flag next to /Zi
/W3 in LOCAL_CFLAGS . Ulf, this flag avoid modifications in the
plugins directory and guarantees lib consistency. I suppose it should
work with VS6 also but can not check.
Hope it will help and if it word, it is certainly a good idea to
change the config.nmake file.
Hi Laurent!
Could you provide a patch so we don't confuse each other - and talk
about different things. I'm not really an expert on this lib issues ;-)
However, I can test it on all mentioned MSVC variants (even VS6), so
we'll see.
Regards, ULFL
P.S.: In the meantime, I can successfully compile and run Wireshark
versions generated on every MSVC variant mentioned - so there's actually
some real progress in this topic ;-)))
