Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Regarding buiding Ethereal

Please read and follow http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html *literally*!!!

Don't use gtk, glib, gcc and/or gdb from/for cygwin, this is for experts only! 

Use MSVC 2005EE (and the binary library versions) mentioned to save you from a lot of trouble.

Regards, ULFL
