Hi Alexis,

So it seems that I need to build Wireshark from source. I encountered some errors when building:

My build machine is Win10 x64. I am using the trunk code of Wireshark (git clone https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark), VS 2013 Ultimate, QT 5.5.1 for MSVC 2013 64bit, CMake 3.4.1 and latest cygwin64. I followed the guide here: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupCMake.html#ChWin32Build

The code is stored here:

J:\github_repos\wireshark

My commands are:

set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning

set WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR=J:\github_repos

set WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM=win64

set QT5_BASE_DIR=C:\Qt\Qt5.5.1\5.5\msvc2013_64

set WIRESHARK_VERSION_EXTRA=-MonitorEnabled

set WIRESHARK_CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH=c:\cygwin64

mkdir J:\github_repos\wsbuild64

cd J:\github_repos\wsbuild64

cmake -DENABLE_CHM_GUIDES=on -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" ..\wireshark

msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo Wireshark.sln

And I encountered many errors like below, how to fix these errors? The entire build log is in the attachment.

I didn't see the attachment, but the MSDN help for that error (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173715.aspx) implies an issue with the glib headers and the code page (936) used by your command prompt.  Maybe try using a different code page, or build as I do from a PowerShell shell that is, I think, Unicode.

If building in a PowerShell shell, I use the following PowerShell script to initialise the shell instance, adapt as required for your installation:

# Environment setup for Wireshark x64

$host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = "x64 build"

$env:CYGWIN = "nodosfilewarning"
$env:WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR = "E:\Wireshark"
$env:WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM = "win64"
$env:QT5_BASE_DIR = "C:\Qt\Qt5.5.0-64\5.5\msvc2013_64"
$env:WIRESHARK_VERSION_EXTRA = "-GMB"

Import-VisualStudioVars 2013 x64

$Global:docmake = 'cmake -DENABLE_CHM_GUIDES=on -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" ..\wireshark'
$Global:dobuild = "msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo Wireshark.sln"
$Global:doprep = "msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo nsis_package_prep.vcxproj"
$Global:dopackage = "msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo nsis_package.vcxproj"

Note that the "Import-VisualStudioVars" command comes from PowerShell Community Extensions (PSCX - https://pscx.codeplex.com/), and can be installed with chocolatey (choco install pscx).

The global variables "docmake" etc. are shortcuts for the command lines used in building and are invoked as "iex $docmake" for example (using the standard alias "iex" for Invoke-_expression_).
