Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] nmake -distclean failing

Hi,

I've been trying to build Wireshark 0.99.5 on my Windows 2000 box, using Visual Studio C++ 2005 Express Edition. After setting the Visual Studio variant and the path for the libs in config.nmake, I downloaded the libs with nmake -setup. Everything went fine, but when I try to distclean before building, I'm getting this error:

        if exist html rmdir html
        cd crypt
        nmake /                   -f Makefile.nmake clean

nmake is complaining about the rm command. It's funny, because I have Cygwin installed and distclean called rm several times before failing in the makefile inside the crypt folder.

Can somebody point me towards the solution for this problem?

Thanks,
