I updated sources to SVN 25940, ran the setup then a distclean, modified
config.nmake to set MSVC_VARIANT=MSVC2008EE, then began compiling (on
Windows XP SP2) with proper environment (i.e. vcvars32.bat) as called
from a Visual Studio 2008 command prompt. Other than a few warnings
about some deprecated command-line options and some other warnings
regarding unsafe function calls with accompanying recommendations as to
which functions to use in their place, compiling itself was successful.
I don't recall all the warnings and didn't capture it because I figured
the same output would be available on the buildbot, as I believe Gerald
updated it to use MSVC2008 now, but I could be wrong? Anyway, I can
recompile again tomorrow if anyone cares to see the output & warnings.
When I ran wireshark to test it, one thing I noticed that I hadn't
before is that when I did a File -> Open, then dragged the dialog window
across the main page, the main page was corrupted with window edges of
the dragged FileOpen dialog. I don't recall that happening when I
compiled it against VS6.0. Anyone else notice that?
When I tried to create a Windows installer, I noticed an error. The
vcredist_x86.exe was missing from C:\wireshark-win32-libs\. I already
had it downloaded, so I just copied it to the expected directory and the
package built successfully (I think ... I haven't actually installed it
on another system yet.) I guess that file should be pulled down as part
of the setup? There were a few "Section <something>" warning messages
produced, but the executable was built as could be seen in the
packaging/nsis/ directory. I forgot exactly what the messages were and
tried to recompile the installer again to see them, but it failed with
this warning:
NMAKE : warning U4004: too many rules for target
'../../doc/rawshark.html'
While building both the U3 and PortableApps installers, I noticed a
couple of "FileNotFoundException"'s as follows:
upx: host\[a-z]*.exe: FileNotFoundException: host\[a-z]*.exe
upx: Files\App\Wireshark\[a-z]*.exe: FileNotFoundException:
Files\App\Wireshark\[a-z]*.exe
(For brevity, I did not include any build output context but I can
include that as well if it helps or can't be gotten from the buildbot.)
Despite the warnings, both installers were built, but I have not
actually tested installing either of them onto a U3 or generic flash
drive yet.
