Yes, I ran setup and distclean before make.  I followed every step from the

Anyone know what is peculiar about register.c to cause these errors?

register.c

register.c(7) : error C2059: syntax error : 'type'

register.c(7) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'

1. Please show us a bit of the register.c file in the epan\dissectors directory: maybe that will give a hint as to what's going on.

2. Just so I'm clear: Is it correct that when you do distclean & etc and then do an nmake that all the sources compile OK until the make reaches register.c ?
