Hi
 
I am a newbie in Wireshark Development and would like to build a custom dissector.
 
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 6 , and have used the following link for a Step-by-Step Win32 setup.
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/
 
In Section 2.2.8 - Install Libraries step(http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html#id4733887), when I run "nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup" , I get the following error:
....
....
...

Stop.

/***/

Can anyone provide feedback on why I am getting this error?

I have tried the following things:

- Deleted "c:\wireshark-win32-libs" directory, recreated it and ran the above command multiple times (I get the same error everytime)

- I edited the Makefile.nmake file in "c:\wireshark" to remove the following lines in "process_libs" section (to continue with other libs):

!IFDEF C_ARES_DIR
 @$(SH) tools\win32-setup.sh "$(WIN32_SETUP_OPT)" "$(WIRESHARK_LIBS)" \
  . c-ares-1.5.3ws.zip
!ENDIF.

When I run the setup command again, I get a similar error for "zlib123"  as well.

 

'Apppreciate any help that I can get on this.

Thanks

Sunny
