Hi,

it seems as if the bison command fails maybe there's something wrong with it (bison not installed/PATH not set)?

btw the setup process is described quite good here: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html I think sed installation isn't mentioned explicitely because it should be installed by cygwin-installer by default, but it's mentioned in point 2.2.7 Verify installed tools.
There is also mentioned that you probably have to rename your link.exe.

Where can I get the .PDB files for the Wireshark binaries? They are
created in the wireshark-gtk2 directory when you (successfully) compile
the sources. I am interested in the libwireshark.pdb and wireshark.pdb
of a recent version, i.e. 1.4.1, 1.4.2 and/or 1.2.13.

Background:
When debugging my own dissectors it's sometimes useful to trace into the
epan functions, what requires these debug program database.

I tried to compile the wireshark sources to generate libraries and PDBs.
After "nmake -f Makefile.name setup" I started the build process. This
fails always with this message:

What may be wrong here?


BTW: Despite the developer guide did not mentioned it, it was necessary
to install sed in cygwin. I also renamed the /bin/link.exe so that the
VS2008 linker could be found.
