Hi,
While trying to compile 1.6.3 from wireshark-1.6.3.tar.bz2 on Windows, compiler complains that i have svnversion.h missing.
 
Forcing
nmake -f Makefile.nmake svnversion.h
gives...
 
        rm -f svnversion.h
        perl make-version.pl
This is not a SVN build.
 
Thus, svnversion.h is not generated.
What am i missing?
(and yes, i did distclean before build)
regards,
Lars
