hello,
I am trying to compile wireshark 0.99.5 (win32) from the source files located on the website (the tar file) I am using VC++2005 and the latest SDK from microsoft, as well as the latest version of Cygwin and python 2.5 (had to change the directory name to python24).
The system compiles just fine until it hit this point:
 
wireshark-gtk2\tshark.exe -G | perl doc\dfilter2pod.pl doc\wireshark-filter.pod.template > doc\wireshark-filter.pod
 
at this point i get a windows message box saying that tshark.exe is not a valid application.
 
access is denied.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'wireshark-gtk2\tshark.exe' : return code '0xff'
stop.
 
anyone have an idea whats wrong?
