Hello All,

For a while now, I haven't been able to build Wireshark on my Windows
XP SP2 machine. I keep getting failure in
nmake -f makefile.nmake setup

Extracting F:\WIRESH~2/user-guide-24665.zip into F:\WIRESH~2/user-guide
+ unzip -o 'F:\WIRESH~2/user-guide-24665.zip'
Archive:  F:/WIRESH~2/user-guide-24665.zip
   skipping: user-guide.chm          `enhanced deflate' method not supported
+ err_exit 'Couldn'\''t unpack F:\WIRESH~2/user-guide-24665.zip'
+ echo ''

+ echo 'ERROR: Couldn'\''t unpack F:\WIRESH~2/user-guide-24665.zip'
ERROR: Couldn't unpack F:\WIRESH~2/user-guide-24665.zip
+ echo ''

+ exit 1
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'F:\cygwin\bin\bash.EXE' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

I have run an update on cygwin, but it doesn't seem to help.

I finally got around the problem by re-packaging the user guide. Has
anyone else had the same problem?

Thanks!
Abhik.
