I used to be able to create a new plugin for ethereal sometimes in January. Now, I'm trying to create another plugin. But when I did nmake -f makefile.nmake, I got a link error ( I attach the log of nmake with this email). I wasn't able to figure out why I got that error, I took out the new plugin I just created and retried nmake. I had same problem. Anybody knows what happen?

Thanks
