Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] build wireshark on Windows xp with VC 6.0 failed

Sorry I just uncommented "MSVC_VARIANT=MSVC6" but forgot commenting "MSVC_VARIANT=MSVC2008" out,now I have changed that and that problem disappears,but another problem occurs:

"Command line warning D4025 : overriding '/Zi' with '/Zd'
packet-rrc.c"

The build process seems to stop here(not proceeding for a long time,I wait for about 5 miniute),are there any places I need to change?
FYI:I have used "nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools" to check the tools that needed,the following gives the output:
"
C:\wireshark>nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools

For the other steps,I have followed https://wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html#ChSetupMSVC
section 2.2. Win32: Step-by-Step Guide.

Thanks,
