Btw, I would have happily used the Wireshark VS solution to see
how to add spandsp codecs, but to my horror I found out that it
used some nmake hell just as well ... and required bash
(Cygwin/mingw?) which I don't have installed on my Windows machine
(why should I).
If you
take the time to setup a Windows build environment (basically
Cygwin + Python + VS), then you can use the Visual Studio
debugger. Note that Wireshark is still built using nmake rather
than a VS project but VS can attach to the process to debug it.
The reason that the windows build still uses other tools and
nmake is that no-one has found the time and motivation to
create, and most importantly maintain, a VS solution for
Wireshark.
