[Bill Meier <wmeier@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm currently unable to build asn1/x411 (and certain other
asn1 stuff) using files from SVN on either Windows or Ubuntu.

 Windows Vista: VC9; Python version 2.4.4 (or 2.5.2 or 2.6);
 Ubuntu: Python 2.5.2

(The error messages are about the same on Windows & Ubuntu).

When building asn1/x4411 on Windows I get (extracted/condensed):

   (cd ../x509af && [...] -f Makefile.nmake generate_export) \
    "C:\Python24\python.exe" "../../tools/asn2wrs.py"  -E -b \
    -e  -px509af  -c x509af.cnf   AuthenticationFramework.asn

   ASN.1 to Wireshark dissector compiler


   (cd ../x509ce && [...] -f Makefile.nmake generate_export) \
   "C:\Python24\python.exe" "../../tools/asn2wrs.py"  -E -b \
   -e  -p x509ce  -c x509ce.cnf   CertificateExtensions.asn

   Traceback (most recent call last):

   ASN.1 to Wireshark dissector compiler

   File "../../tools/asn2wrs.py", line 7592, in ?

   SYNTAX('SYNTAX')
   NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Python24\python.exe' : return code
   '0x1'

   Stop.

(I get different errors if I try to build asn1/x509ce).

I've no familiarity with asn2wrs so I'm posting to the list ...
