Hi all,
It is about 7-8 months since I had build Wireshark on my Windows XP
box running Visual C++ 2005 EE. Today I updated Wireshark sources and
Cygwin and it is now failing with "cat.exe has encountered a problem
and needs to close.." (see attached screenshots). When I tell it not
to send the report 7 times, the build fails with the following log-
C:\wireshark>nmake -f Makefile.nmake all

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
C:\wireshark>
I deleted cygwin and reinstalled it, but still the same problem.
I have done all the steps mentioned for VC++ 2005 as per-
http://ethereal.netmirror.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html
I googled around and it looks like no one else has had this problem.
So either I'm missing something or I suspect its the latest Cygwin
(see cat_cygwin.png that has the error details).
I set up another build environment on a Server 2003 machine with
Visual C++ 2008 EE and see the exact same problem.
For Visual C++ 2008 EE I used the instructions here-
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html
Can someone please tell me what I'm missing or is this a bug? Any
pointers/ suggestions welcome.
Many thanks,
Harsha
