Thanks Mike. I'll try installing the SDK if I ever need to compile with
VS6 again. For now, I'm just going to stick with VS2008EE for 1.2+. Up
'til now I have only been building Windows installers against the 1.0.x
tree, not 1.1.x and the SDK wasn't required for those.
As for the compiler error I got earlier, namely:
tvbuff.c(45) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'zlib.h': No
such file or directory
... I simply ran "nmake -f Makefile.nmake" again with absolutely zero
changes, and this time everything proceeded normally. Weird.
The only other thing I noticed so far with 1.2pre1 (other than the old
user guide which was already reported) is that there appears to be one
obsolete preference between 1.0.8 and 1.2pre1 that wasn't made obsolete
using prefs_register_obsolete_preference(), namely "mapi.decrypt".
Here's the console debug:
15:42:13 Warn C:\Documents and Settings\cmaynard\Application
Data\Wireshark\preferences line 1712: No such preference "mapi.decrypt"
(applying your preferences once should remove this warning)
