Hi,
Sorry for not providing this simple patch before. It is OK with VS 2005 express edition, can you check it is OK with previous releases because I do not have them anymore?
Regarding relationships between VS express edition and PSDK, I successfully compiled Wireshark once I had only done the 3 first steps of the process adaptation. Therefore, I suppose the misconfig problem comes from another place...
Ulf, don't you think it is also a good idea to provide a project file so that debugging would be *a lot* easier because developpers could use all the IDE debugging tools (breakpoints, step by step debugging etc...). Such project file really helped me! I suppose a simple project file created with Visual 6 could be translated by any other MS IDE.
Regards
Laurent

Do you use the Express Edition or the Studio?

You might better use distclean

Did you enabled the MSVC_VARIANT setting for Visual Studio 2005 in config.nmake line 73?
If you didn't this would explain problems ;-) - but I guess you've done so already.

You may better keep HHC_DIR disabled for now (it's optional) - let's fix one thing at a time ;-)

With my latest changes (yesterday), the "setup" target should download
zlib123.zip (instead of zlib123-dll.zip),
and compile the zlib source when running e.g. the "all" target (right before wiretap is compiled).
There's no longer need to compile zlib "by hand".

I'll have a look at the HHC topic later.

There seems to be some platform libs missing.

If you're running the express edition, did you followed the guidelines to integrate the Paltform SDK into VC?
Details are at (especially step 4): http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/
I'm not sure if it's better to depend on our developers that they've done this or to add the libs to the linker flags.
Maybe the latter will make the whole process easier for our developers.
Regards, ULFL
P.S: Laurent mentioned a change in the linker flags that might be helpful here as well, I'm currently waiting for a patch from him.
