Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] error during the compilation.

Maybe this could interest some of you:

When trying to install all the programs to compile Wireshark, I had the following error:

"C:\Python26\python.exe" rdps.py print.ps ps.c
       rm -f svnversion.h
       perl make-version.pl
Version configuration file version.conf not found.  Using defaults.
This is a build from SVN (or a SVN snapshot).
nmake fatal error U1077 c:\cygwin\bin\perl.EXE : return code '0x1'
Stop


I thought first it was because I made an upgrade of Cygwin on my computer. So I uninstalled like 10 times all the programs and reinstalled it, and it didn't solved the problem. This was on my computer at work, with Windows XP 32-bits. Then I tried to install everything on my personal laptop, and I had exactly the same problem. And this one run with Windows Vista 64-bits (But I installed only 32-bits versions of the programs).

So maybe it is a coincidence, but maybe it could be a real problem. I don't know if one of you tried to install everything on a new computer recently, and this is why I write to you: does this error only happens for me, or some other people already saw it?

So for me, the solution was in both case to install a Perl program: ActivePerl (and launch it at least one time to associate the perl files with the executable).

I don't know if it could help somebody, but maybe it could be worthwhile to put it in the Developer's Guide?

Hi,

I'm trying to compile Wireshark, but it doesn't work very well...
I have Windows XP (32-bits) on my computer.
One month ago, I already managed to compile Wireshark with the developer's guide. After the 1.2.1 version was out, I thought I should update my sources. So I did so, tried to re-compilate, and it didn't work. I uninstalled all the programs (Visual C++, python, Cygwin...), restarted my computer, and installed again all of them following the guide. But I still have the same error when I compile (nmake -f Makefile.nmake all)** :

nmake fatal error U1077 c:\cygwin\bin\perl.EXE : return code '0x1'
Stop

And I don't find any solution on the Internet.
So where is the problem?
I thought it was Cygwin, so I "uninstalled it" (delete the Cygwin folder in fact seems to be ths only way of uninstalling) and reinstall it, but I still have the same problem.

So what should I try to solve this problem?

Regards

Aurelien
