I tried compiling wireshark 1.2 pre1 on Windows using VS2008EE. It
failed.
Here's the error:
tvbuff.c(45) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'zlib.h': No
such file or directory
I downloaded the source, extracted it, modified config.nmake to change
MSVC_VARIANT from MSVC2008 to MSVC2008EE, then ran:
nmake -f makefile.nmake setup
nmake -f makefile.nmake distclean
nmake -f makefile.nmake
Did I miss something or is there a patch to tvbuff.c not part of the 1.2
branch?
Also, the release notes for 1.2 at
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-1.2.0.html indicates:
* Official Windows packages are now built using Microsoft Visual
C++ 2008 SP1.
... but it doesn't specifically say whether support for VS6 is dropped
or not. I have not been able to build under VS6 for a long time, and I
know there was some discussion on the wireshark mailing lists about it,
so I'm just wondering:
-> Is VS6 still supported with 1.2?
-> If yes, any hints on how to get it work?
-> If not, are there any plans to support it?
-> If no plans to support VS6 anymore, should it be mentioned in the
above release notes and/or elsewhere?
Thanks.
