Re: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark v1.7.0 build issue with MSVC
2005

Hi,
I
tried building the latest 1.7.0 code on WinXP
(32-bit) and Win7 (64-bit) both having MSVC 2005. I
am stuck with the error "'ml': is not
recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file" almost at
the beginning of "nmake -f Makefile.nmake all."
Producing 64 bits version should require ml64.exe.
If you have this error on your Win7 64 bits,
I think you did not call something like "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars64.bat",
and so, you are going to produce 32 bits version.
[PB]: Ok. I am fine with 32-bit build.
But the build failed on WinXP 32bit with the same MSVC 2005
producing the same ml error.
Do I need to do
something special to get past this issue? I searched
for ml.exe in the MSVC installation folder, I did not
find anything there. Though there is a file called
ml64.exe. I have not installed either the VC run-time
Redistributable package nor the PSDK. Do I need any of
those?
PSDK was needed for me on Win7 64bits with MSVC 2008 EE (to
have ml64.exe).
ml64.exe is supposed to be included in the not EE version of
MSVC 2008.
Even after installing PSDK (from :
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=3138),
I have no ml.exe or ml64.exe into my installation of MSVC
2005 EE.
[PB]: So how did you resolve it finally? Should the error go
away if I install PSDK?
