Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] windows 2000 config.nmake

Note: This archive is from the project's previous web site, ethereal.com. This list is no longer active.

i have downloaded a source tarball from your ethereal.com page. Then i have downloaded all the needed tools and libraries as described in the development guide, readme.win32 and so on.

But i have still the problem, that i could not excecute the make -f makefile.nmake. When i use Cygwin then the following error occurs:

$ make -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools
config.nmake:262: *** missing separator.  Stop.

I did not any change on the config.nmake
258 # If you don't want to build libethereal.dll, you should comment out the
259 # following line. (Note: for plugin support this option must stay activated)
260 ENABLE_LIBETHEREAL=USE
261
262 !IFDEF ENABLE_LIBETHEREAL
263 # Uncomment next line to link plugins with the import library of libethereal.dll
264 LINK_PLUGINS_WITH_LIBETHEREAL=USE
265 !ENDIF

I'd like to compile a dissector in MSVC, but i have to include some files from the ethereal sources. And here are my Problems starting:

Compiling...

DLLtest.dll - 4 error(s), 5 warning(s)

I know, that i have to do a make -f makefile.nmake -distclean before compiling, but i couldn't, because my config.nmake is fault!


Thanks!
