Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Help, I still can't build Wireshark under Windows XP

Hey John,

Obviously, the output you are seeing is still not explicitly narrowing
down the problem to a particular file. I have tried compiling the
following versions:
24602: This one had the issues I put on the mailing list earlier.
24657: I checked out this when you had problems with it. I couldn't get
as far in the compile process as you did due to warnings in
tools/lemon/lemon.c about usage of sprintf(). (This may be because I'm
using VS2005Pro w/ SP1.)
24729: This one worked best for me.

There are a couple of things you can try:
1. Check out the head revision (although the build bot just spotted a
problem with this version?) or 24729 (shown above) and try that instead.
2. Install the service pack (Service Pack 1) for Microsoft Visual Studio
2005:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7B0B0339-613A-4
6E6-AB4D-080D4D4A8C4E&displaylang=en (up to 150MB download). There has
been no need of this mentioned anywhere yet, but it may be worth trying.
3. Try to figure out what code is created immediately after compiling
epan/dissectors/packet-dcerpc-nt.c and what goes wrong with it in your
current setup. Epan/dissectors/Makefile.common ends with
DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_SRC being defined with packet-dcerpc-nt.c being a part
of that definition:

----------------------------------------------
# Dissector helpers.  They're included in the source files in this
# directory, but they're not dissectors themselves, i.e. they're not
# used to generate "register.c").
DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_SRC = \
        packet-dcerpc-nt.c \
        register.c
----------------------------------------------

This would seem to point to register.c as being a problem?

Makefile.nmake and Makefile.am both use DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_SRC.
Makefile.am uses it in defining libdissectors_la_SOURCES:

----------------------------------------------
libdissectors_la_SOURCES = \
        $(DISSECTOR_SRC) \
        $(DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_SRC)
----------------------------------------------

Makefile.am uses DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_SRC in defining
DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_OBJECTS:

----------------------------------------------
DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_OBJECTS = \
        $(DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_SRC:.c=.obj)

dissectors.lib: register.obj packet-ncp2222.c $(GENERATED_HEADER_FILES)
../../config.h $(DISSECTOR_OBJECTS) $(DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_OBJECTS)
        @echo Linking dissectors.lib $(DISSECTOR_OBJECTS)
$(DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_OBJECTS)
        link /lib /out:dissectors.lib $(DISSECTOR_OBJECTS)
$(DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_OBJECTS)
----------------------------------------------

I hope this sheds at least some light on what nmake is doing after
compiling packet-dcerpc-nt.c.

Your verify_tools output looks good; it's the same as mine (character
for character).

Your batch program is very similar to my own:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\SetEnv.Cmd"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
cd C:\wireshark

The last line, which is supposed to change to the wireshark folder,
doesn't do anything useful because the current folder is lost when the
batch program exits, but this is irrelevant.

Your Path looks OK. Before the script is run, mine is:
PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\NTRU Cryptosystems\NTRU TCG Software Stack\bin\;C:\Program
Files\Wave Systems Corp\Dell Preboot Manager\Access
Client\v5\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk
Shared\;C:\Xilinx92i\bin\nt;C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin

After the script is run, my path is:

PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Bin\WinNT;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\Tools\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\PlatformSDK\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8
\SDK\v2.0\bin;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\VCPackages;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;
C:\Program Files\NTRU Cryptosystems\NTRU TCG Software
Stack\bin\;C:\Program Files\Wave Systems Corp\Dell Preboot
Manager\Access Client\v5\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk
Shared\;C:\Xilinx92i\bin\nt;C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin

For comparison, yours (before the script items) was:

path
c:\cygwin\bin;c:\batch;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem
;C:\subversion-
1.4.6;

Yours has cygwin and subversion, while mine does not, but that shouldn't
be causing this problem. We have different versions of windows, and I
have a whole bunch of junk in my path, but again, those should not
affect the problem. (Note that I don't have a command-line subversion
client because I use TortiseSVN: http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads . )

Sorry I couldn't be of more help as I am not able to reproduce the
problem.

Hi,

sorry, didn't reply earlier.

I start with a batch program to initialize the environment, and I don't
think it can cause the problem:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
initialize.bat

::set environment variables of Platform SDK Server 2003

::set environment variable of Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
cd C:\wireshark
