I was having issues compiling a x64 build of Wireshark on a Win7x64 bit PC. I followed the instructions to the letter as referenced in the Win build page:
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html
All to no avail. After reinstalling several times and googling for most of the day, the answer was found.
The referenced sugested setup batch file to build x64 Wireshark is:
@echo off
echo Adding things to the path...
set PATH=%PATH%;.
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\cygwin\bin echo Setting up Visual Studio environment...
call "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" amd64 title Command Prompt (VC++ 2010)
The issue was that the vcvars32.bat amd64 branch is broken. The script is looking for files that don't exist.
To fix this the line 'call "c:\windows..." line should now read:
call "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\BIn\SetEnv.cmd" /x64
The /x64 can be changed to set any number of different compile options.
Thanks for reporting back. I have been intending to redo the build
instructions for a while and this gives me both the confirmation that
the existing instructions really need revision and that the edits that I
have in mind will work. Now all I need is to actually get around to
doing the work! :) Thanks!
