Hi,
I am trying to do my first build of Wireshark on Windows platform using:

    * VC6.0
    * Cygwin
    * GNU bash, version 3.2.33(18)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
    * bison (GNU Bison) 2.3
    * flex 2.5.35
    * env (GNU coreutils) 6.10
    * perl, v5.8.8 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int
    * Python 2.4.4
    * GNU Wget 1.10.2

verify tools checked out ok.
install libs checked out ok
distclean completes ok
but build fails.

I know unistd.h is not a Windows platform file, but k12text seems to be generated from k21text.l ( not from SVN). I have been searching and verifying my tools, but I don't see a solution.....

thanks for the help in advance.
