Hello,

 

I have followed the step by step guide on http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html to build wireshark on my win32 system.

all stages have finished successfully (at least as far as I understand...), but the building (stage 2.2.10 -> 2: nmake -f Makefile.nmake all) failed.

In the attached files there is the output of "nmake -f Makefile.nmake all", "nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup" and the output of "nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools".

I will really appreciate if someone can help me out with this, I wish to get started on writing a new dissector.

I've extracted the build errors from your email below:

There seems to be a couple of case changes in the source files  (packet-dcom.c & packet-rmp.c) that are causing some errors, check using 'svn status' for inadvertent changes to your working copy and correct those.

The other errors may be caused by similar corruption issues (gthread.h) or possibly an older SDK (stdlib.h).

Resolve the changes to your wc first then try again.
