Is there a way to get the wiresharklibs to a different location without

Yes: Set a value foe WIRESHARK_LIBS in the environment and then
do nmake /E ...

set WIRESHARK_LIBS=...
nmake /E ....

Thanks for reply. Unfortunately the /E command passes _all_ variables to nmake. This causes problems with two other lines from config.nmake:

CYGWIN_PATH=c:\cygwin\bin
PATH=$(PATH);$(CYGWIN_PATH);$(GTK_DIR)\bin; ...

When starting 'nmake /E' the PATH is not updated anymore. This requires to set the PATH before starting nmake. But it includes a further reference to C:\ anyway.
