I built my windows dev system to the cookbook and learned about Java.
It's obvious after the fact, but nothing in the docs says Java is required.
And to add insult to injury, the Java installer picked the 32-bit version first time around.
Has to be the 64-bit version to allocate enough memory.

___________________________________________________________________________Section 2.2.8 of the Wireshark Developer’s Guide[1] instructs you to install asciidoctor, xsltproc and docbook if you want to build the Wireshark documentation; however, it doesn’t specify the minimum version requirements of those tools.Attempting to build the documentation for the new 3.4.0 release failed on my system. Running "choco list --localonly" showed that I had these relevant package versions installed:asciidoctorj 2.1.0docbook-bundle 1.0.0xsltproc 1.1.28.0… and running "choco outdated" revealed that asciidoctor was outdated:Chocolatey v0.10.15Outdated PackagesOutput is package name | current version | available version | pinned?asciidoctorj|2.1.0|2.3.0|falseI updated the asciidoctor package to version 2.3.0 and was able to successfully build the documentation. (NOTE: I actually ran "choco upgrade all" to upgrade all packages.) In any case, if building the documentation fails for you, you may want to check your installed versions and upgrade to the latest available packages if any are outdated.And perhaps the Developer’s Guide should mention minimum required versions, if possible?- ChrisCONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message is the property of International Game Technology PLC and/or its subsidiaries and may contain proprietary, confidential or trade secret information.
