Hi,

I followed the instructions for developer to compile the wireshark, but fatal error happened.
The error is NMAKE : fatal error U1045: spawn failed : No error.

I don't know how to solve it, so hope your guys give me some tips.
Below is the steps I executed:

C:\wireshark>nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools

Perl problem ??

"perl: /cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/perl" above suggests you are using a non-cygwin version of Perl.

What happens if you do a perl -v from the command line ?


I don't remember if using a non-Cygwin perl is OK....
