Hello,
I followed the instructions to setup the build environment and to build wireshark on Windows (XP + Visual Studio 2008).
I am getting the following error:

   Creating library libwireshark.lib and object libwireshark.exp

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'

I googled this error and saw similar posts but no solutions.  Does anybody know of a solution?
Thanks,
Al.
