The dll error was probably because your command line is picking up a
cygwin version of svn.  Tortoise does *not* provide a command line
version of svn.  It does provide some command line tools, but they
aren't the same as standard svn.

Using TortoiseSVN, open an Explorer window, right click any directory or
drive and choose "SVN Checkout..." from the context menu.  It might be
in the TortoiseSVN sub menu.

In the resulting dialog, enter the correct url
(http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk) in the "URL of
repository" field, and a suitable local directory in the "Checkout
directory" field.  Ensure the two check boxes are cleared and select the
"HEAD" radio button.  Click "OK".

After a suitable period of time you should have the source tree on your
local hard disk.  Continue as per the developers guide.
