I see that you're compiling on Windows, but which version and is it
32-bit or 64-bit?


Personally I'm just carrying fixes to this in my local source tree as I haven't had time to push a patch back into the repo.  I don't know why this compiles OK on the buildbot and not with VC8.

IMHO the current code is incorrect as it incorrectly casts a 32 bit value to a 64 bit one and then calls proto_tree_add_uint64 with it when the value really is a 32 bit one (lines 981-985):

        if (packet->key_id_mode == KEY_ID_MODE_KEY_EXPLICIT_4) {
          packet->key_source.addr32 = tvb_get_ntohl(tvb, offset);
          proto_tree_add_uint64(field_tree, hf_ieee802154_aux_sec_key_source, tvb, offset, 4, packet->key_source.addr32);
          proto_item_set_len(ti, 1 + 4);
          offset += sizeof (guint32);

and the other errors simply need a cast to gchar to allow them to compile (lines 2006 - 2013).

I've attached a patch that works for me.

Oops.  Compile before posting, the last second change to proto_tree_add_uint64 should have been to proto_tree_add_uint.  Corrected patch supplied.

Also note that if you are using VC8 you may run into other compilation or run-time issues.  I strongly recommend you grab a copy of the VS 2008 Express edition or even the 2010 version if you want to live at the bleeding edge.
