Michael,

I've never run into this issue as I have (always) had Cygwin in C:\Cygwin.

Interestingly, the build slaves (https://buildbot.wireshark.org/wireshark-master/waterfall) have Cygwin in C:\Cygwin64 and they don't define the WIRESHARK_CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH env var.

Gerald has been making some changes in this area lately to better detect Cygwin, so maybe update to the latest master sources.

The issue with CMake 3.9 has also been fixed again with the latest sources.

It works when I change:
 
set WIRESHARK_CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH=c:\cygwin64
 
to
 
set WIRESHARK_CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH=c:/cygwin64
 
This has changed since 2.2.5 or it has something to do with cmake 3.8.2 versus cmake 3.5.
 
When I first tried to build 2.4.0 I received a complaint saying that at least cmake 3.7 was required.
I installed the latest (cmake 3.9) but that didn't work so I went to 3.8.2.
 
Thanks Graham.
 
The Windows portion of the developers guide use the backslash and does not specify a cmake version.

This is from my 2.2.5 build with the same "message" calls added:
 
-- CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH=C:/cygwin64
-- l_a2x_ex=c:/cygwin64/bin/a2x
-- l_cyg_path=c:/cygwin64
-- Using Cygwin a2x

I added some "message" output to the FindASCII script:
 
-- CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH=c:\cygwin64
-- l_a2x_ex=c:/cygwin64/bin/a2x
-- l_cyg_path=c:\cygwin64
 
I don't know how the cmake "MATCHES" is supposed to work.
Is it a simple substring match or does it take care of \ /?

That variable is always set.
 
"WIRESHARK_CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH=c:\cygwin64"
 
I use a .cmd file to set the environment as per the development guide.

Hi Graham,
 
thanks for the help.
 
I wasn't sure if you wanted to see the CMake generation with/without the "-D ENABLE_CHM_GUIDES"
so I ran it with the redirection WITH documentation.
 
I removed CMakeCache.txt first.
 
cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=c:\Python27\python -DENABLE_CHM_GUIDES=on -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" %myPath% 2>&1 > cmake.txt
 
The output in the shell window (if it matters):
 
cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=c:\Python27\python -DENABLE_CHM_GUIDES=on -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" C:\wireshark-2.4.0\
statuscheck linker flag - test linker flags: -Wl,--as-needed
statuscheck linker flag - test linker flags: -pie
 
C:\ws240-64>
 
I've attached the cmake.txt output file.
 
Let me know if you need anything else.

The odd bit of your CMake output is:

  -- Found ASCIIDOC: LC_ALL=C;TZ=UTC;C:/cygwin64/bin/a2x  

whereas I have:

  -- Using Cygwin a2x
  -- Found ASCIIDOC: C:/Cygwin/bin/bash.exe;/cygdrive/e/Wireshark/wireshark/tools/runa2x.sh  

Looking at the FindASIIDOC.cmake module (in top-level-source\cmake\modules), your output happens if the path to a2x doesn't include the CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH.

Can you try setting an environment variable WIRESHARK_CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH tp C:\Cygwin64 and re-running cmake, deleting the cache first?

This has been reported a couple of times before, both on the mail list and on Ask Wireshark (I suspect it was the same user), unfortunately the original poster never responded to questions.

The build of docs can be disabled by omitting the "-D " argument to the CMake generation step, however you still need a working asciidoc toolset to produce the release notes.


This should have read "by omitting the "-D ENABLE_CHM_GUIDES" argument.  You might need to delete CMakeCache.txt before regenerating the build files.
 
Can you post the output of the CMake generation step by redirecting it to a file, i.e.

 cmake ... 2>&1 > cmake.txt
