Thanks everyone for your help!
I compiled a wireshark win32 and it runs as expected!
Lesson learned: Read the documentation carefully!
I list these details of the mistakes I made to hopefully help someone who may also be making the same mistakes I made:
I had skipped the installation of cygwin. Tried again after installing cygwin
I had skipped the installation of python. Tried again after incorrectly installing python30
uninstalled python30 and loaded the python26. Tried again
Then I was google searching for cygwin bison and found it was documented clearly in the Developer's guide as part of the cygwin installation. Duh!
Tried again... Finally I realized the command I was missing:
nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup
Basically, I finally followed the documentation repeatedly until I stopped making my dumb mistakes.
Then I attempted compiling 64-bit with these two changes in config.nmake
WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM=win64
CPU=IA64
nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup
nmake -f Makefile.nmake distclean
But this one failed:
nmake -f Makefile.nmake all

This was done on my XP Pro 32-bit PC so I'll try this on my Windows vista 64-bit Home Premium and let you know how it goes.
Thanks everyone!
