Some updates:
After reading README.win32 and updating config.nmake according to my
setup, I tried the initial make:
C:\cygwin\home\Eigenaar\ethereal\Win32\ethereal>nmake -f
Makefile.nmake setup
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94. All rights reserved.
Makefile.nmake(7) : fatal error U1052: file 'win32.mak' not found
Stop.
A quick search on www.microsoft.com for "win32.mak not found" leads to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;133249 but
this doesn't help me as it does not apply to the MSVC++ Toolkit 2003.
Another hint is given that it is part of the Microsoft windows
Platform SDK.
The MS Win Platform SDK can be found at:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
I selected the "Core SDK: Build Environment" (31MB) for a start and
hope this will work, but this takes ages to complete (even on my
broadband link).
Any comments?
Regards,
Olivier
