I�ve developed a dissector plugin under Linux, and now need to deploy it

<http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html/#ChToolsWin32Verify>, I get a
couple of errors.

I had a �vcredist_x86.exe is missing� error which I fixed by download
vcredist_x86.exe and putting it in C:\wireshark-win32-libs, however I
now get another error:

tools/win32-setup.sh: line 10: sed: command not found

tools/win32-setup.sh: line 12: exec: --: invalid option

exec: usage: exec [-cl] [-a name] file [redirection ...]

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'c:\cygwin\bin\bash.EXE' : return code '0x2'

Stop.

I noticed that the documentation says I should try |*nmake -f
Makefile.nmake setup *|but that didn�t help. I just get the same error
message. The documentation and the wiki seem to disagree about what to
do, which just confuses things. Any solution or ideas?

Thanks,

Hi,

But what does verify_tools tell you?

Thanks,
