 hi Bill,

Thank you for your help!
This is the problem of the non-cygwin version of perl. 
Now I can compile the wireshark successfully.
You are great!

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....
