I apologize if this is not the correct forum, but I’ve got a question …

 

 

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition on a Windows 2000 (5.00.2195 Service Pack 4) laptop PC.

 

When I run through the build process, some make files can find items like perl, sed, and xcopy …. then they cannot.

 

Even more frustrating is I can run the commands manually that ‘just failed’ in the build process.

 

For example, the following snippet of make output shows perl being not found, then I can run the command my self.

 

The interesting thing is, I have no problem building on a Windows XP Home Edition environment (running through the same commands and using the same software).

 

Please help.

… the build process steps into the dissectors and cannot find perl, but I can run manuall…
