| Hi list,
|
| I'm trying to compile Ethereal on WinXP with the recently released
| MSVC++ command-line toolkit.
|
| First of all you need to download and install this toolkit from this
| link:
| http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/
|
| Then you need NMAKE. Fortunately NMAKE 1.5 can be downloaded from
| Microsoft if you search for "KB132084". Unpack the archive by
running
| it, and drop the 3 extracted files in the MSVC++ Toolkit "bin"
| directory.
|
| Now it's time to edit config.nmake.
|
| Now read README.win32 and try to run the 1st make (nmake -f
| Makefile.nmake setup). You'll note that you don't have "Win32.mak"
as
| it is not shipped with the Toolkit.
|
| Fortunately you can get around this issue by browsing to
| http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
| where you select the "Core SDK" and only tick the "Build
Environment"
| (31MB) option. After a while, this SDK will be installed.
|
| >From the start menu, choose "Programs"
| -> "Microsoft Platform SDK February 2003"
| -> "Open build environment window"
| -> (choose your OS Win2K/WinXP/Win2003)
| A command prompt will open. Now run the vcvars32.bat from the MSVC++
| Toolkit so your build environment will work:
|
| And now you're stuck since NMAKE 1.5 doesn't like the '::' for
suffix
| rules in Makefiles. So I got rid of the "::" in the ".c.obj::"
target
| of all Makefile.nmake files. From the cygwin prompt, type:
| $ find . -name Makefile.nmake -exec grep -l "^[.].*::" {} ';'
|
| Now nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup works!
|
| Now you want to run "nmake -f Makefile.nmake" but it won't work as
| your PATH contains space characters. The simplest way of figuring
your
| path is by cd'ing to a directory with spaces in it and then type
| "command" and then "exit".
|
| Once you've done this, you're ready to compile... for a while as
| PCAP.H wants to include <sys/time.h> which means WIN32 has not been
| defined. So edit config.nmake and add "/DWIN32" to the compiler
flags.
|
| Now again try running "nmake -f Makefile.nmake". Again you will be
| able to compile for a while, after what it will fail again:
|

| Stop.
| <end>
|
| Here I am definitely stuck :(
|
| Has this to do with the fact that the MSVCRT.DLL and the likes are
not
| included in the MSVC++ Toolkit? As I am not familiar at all with the
| MSVC compiler suite, I'd like to know what I have to do in order to
| continue compilation. Maybe some Makefile.nmake have to be
redefined?
|
| I have attached all changes I made to the normal cvs snapshot.
Looks like reading win32.mak yields parts of the solution:

# Build Rules Quick Start
#
# To build one of the following types of executables, use the
specified
# compiler and linker command-line options.
#
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
# To build: | Compiler Options | Linker options (pick
one
# | | line. con = console,
# | | gui = GUI, ole = GUI
OLE)
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
# Single threaded | cdebug cflags cvars | ldebug guilflags
guilibs
# app with static | | ldebug conlflags
conlibs
# CRT | | ldebug guilflags
olelibs
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
# Multithreaded app | cdebug cflags cvarsmt | ldebug guilflags
guilibsmt
# with static CRT | | ldebug conlflags
conlibsmt
# | | ldebug guilflags
olelibsmt
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
# Single or multi- | cdebug cflags cvarsdll | ldebug guilflags
guilibsdll
# threaded app with | | ldebug conlflags
conlibsdll
# DLL version of CRT | | ldebug guilflags
olelibsdll
# (MSVCRT.DLL) | |
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
# DLL with static | cdebug cflags cvarsmt | ldebug dlllflags
guilibsmt
# CRT* | | ldebug dlllflags
conlibsmt
# | | ldebug dlllflags
olelibsmt
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
# DLL with DLL | cdebug cflags cvarsdll | ldebug dlllflags
guilibsdll
# version of CRT | | ldebug dlllflags
conlibsdll
# (MSVCRT.DLL) | | ldebug dlllflags
olelibsdll
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
#
# * Always make DLLs multithreaded because a DLL has no way to know
whether
# the calling application has multiple threads, and has no way to
prevent
# multithreaded apps from loading it.
#
For wiretap this means:
* replace cvarsdll with cvarsmt
* replace conlibsdll with conlibsmt
But now I get another problem: the "lib" command is not found in the
MSVC++ Toolkit. Is it possible to replace "lib" with some $(link)
command as used in wiretap/Makefile.nmake?

Olivier
