Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] no success building ethereal on cygwin/w2k

[Susan M Lockwood <Susan_M_Lockwood@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Folks -

I'm trying to make Ethereal in a cygwin environment on W2K, following the steps listed in the Readme.win32 bundled with the source download.

Even after applying several of the suggested patches, I'm running into errors that, it seems, others on the dev_list have encountered. I haven't found a workable solution yet.

Anybody have a handy (perhaps obvious) hint about the following? 

$ make 

fails with the following <snipped> complaints about unrefined refs:

gtk/libui.a(packet_list.o)(.text+0x14b7): In function `packet_list_get_sort_column':
/cygdrive/c/ethereal/gtk/packet_list.c:702: undefined reference to `_eth_clist_get_type'

... and of course,

$ make ethereal.exe

fails with <snipped> complaints such as these...

Any help appreciated, and I'm still combing the list for other clues.

Thanks,
