Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] wireshark fails when I build it

Yes....after I do my perl commands in the cygwin window..I just leave it open.
I leave the cygwin window open when I build the older source and it works.

Anyway.....I did close it and it still crashed.

I am going to continue to plug away at this.

Thanks,
Brian

I completely rebooted my machine (just to make sure I was not using the same command prompt)...tried again (it chugged along for a while)...
then it broke. Remember...I am not even trying the 64 bit stuff yet.

All I am trying to do is check out the new source and build the 32 bit version before I jump into the 64 bit stuff again.

The reason I had updat source is because what Gerald stated.....in my old source tree in the config.namke file it specified that "only" 32 bit was available.

So this is where I am at.....I will continue to try and track down why this is not working before I completely break a perfect environment that works with old sources.

Also....this is what I did for the old sources......it defiantly doesn't work if I do not do this....but are these steps in right order...???

First prepare command prompt:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin>vcvars32.bat

Run the perl programs in a Cygwin terminal:
cd C:
cd wireshark-<version>

$ perl make-version.pl
$ perl perlnoutf.pl make-authors-short.pl < AUTHORS > AUTHORS-SHORT
$ perl perlnoutf.pl make-authors-format.pl < AUTHORS-SHORT > AUTHORS-SHORT-FORMAT

(go to "prepaired"cmd window)

cd to wireshark
then do
nmake -f Makefile.nmake all

Do you have to do this when you build....????

Anyway.....here is the error that I am getting:

 perl perlnoutf.pl make-authors-short.pl < ../AUTHORS > AUTHORS-SHORT
24275 [main] perl 3980 child_copy: linked dll data write copy failed, 0xBD2000
..0xBD2370, done 0, windows pid 3980, Win32 error 487

Any ideas why make-authors-short.pl appears to be breaking....???

In the meantime...if you think of anything else...please let me know.

Thanks,
Brian

Nope, I don't need to do the extra perl step, it works in the build
fine.  The error sounds like an older cygwin error due to clashes
between cygwin.dll versions.  Do you have a cygwin window open when
running the build?
