Out of interest, are you using Windows Python 2.4 ? I reported the same when I moved to 2.4 (but the "official" Windows native (i.e. non-cygwin) Python for wireshark is still 2.3) ?

 I have been able to continue building by replacing line:

 @$(PYTHON) ../../tools/make-dissector-reg.py . dissectors
$(DISSECTOR_SRC)

with

 @$(PYTHON) "../../tools/make-dissector-reg.py" . dissectors
$(DISSECTOR_SRC)

My version of a fix was to replace all "/" with "\" for the native Windows (i.e. non-cygwin) tool usage in nmake-files.
