Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] GTK+ 1.3 errors

["Gisle Vanem" <giva@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have successfully built some of the Ethereal 0.9.14 distribution
(editcap, dftest and tetereal) using MingW and gcc 3.3.1, but got stuck
at the main program ethereal. I used my homebrew makefile modeled
after makefile.nmake.

I get heaps of asserts and warnings from GTK:
----------------------------------------

and finally a crash  in gtk_ctree_set_line_style:

------------------------------------

I think I have all required .dll and import libraries. Some of the vital
ones:

>filever "\MingW32\src\gtk+\gtk\gtk-1.3.dll"
--a-- W32i   DLL ENU        1.3.0.50 shp  1,439,618 12-16-2000 gtk-1.3.dll

>filever "\MingW32\src\gtk+\gdk\gdk-1.3.dll"
--a-- W32i   DLL ENU       1.3.0.118 shp    431,313 12-26-2000 gdk-1.3.dll

I also have the MingW compiled g*.a import libraries from the GTK+ 1.3 distribution.
And I'm using Glib 1.3.1.

What could be the problem?
