Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Cannot compile ethereal 0.9.5 on Windows 2000

[John Pan <johnpan10@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
  I am a software engineer living in Silicon Valley
and recently I found your project.  It was really
great art.  I downloaded ethereal-0.9.3.tar.gz, and
set it up according to the README files on my Windows
2000 machine with Micrsoft Visual Studio 6.0
installed.  I modified the config.nmake and downloaded
all the required libraries, such as GTK+, GLIB,
Zlib1.1.4, etc.  Finally it could be compiled
successfully with command 'nmake -f makefile.nmake'.  
  
  However, after I downloaded ethereal-0.9.4.tar.gz
version today, under exactly the same environment,
although I modified config.nmake correctly, I could
not compile the project on my Windows 2000 machine. 
And the error message is: 
------------------------------  
Error message:
Scanner.c(31): Fatal error C1003:  Cannot open include
file: 'unistd.h'. 
------------------------------
  As a matter of fact, I had 'unistd.h' file in the
cygwin directory, so I put the filepath into the
system environment's include.  But still the same
problem existed.   I wonder where and how I can get
the library and include files for 'unistd.h'?  Any URL
to download from?  Any library or package to install?
  
  Then, after I downloaded ethereal-0.9.5.tar.gz
version today, it was even more weird.  I spent a
whole day, and still could not compile ethereal-0.9.5
on my Windows 2000 machine with MS Visual Studio 6.0,
although I used the command 'nmake -f makefile.nmake'.
 I felt really frustrated.  Are the README files in
the tar.gz file obsolete for this version?  Any trick
or complete documentation for compiling this version
on Windows platform?  Please help me by emailing me
back at your earlist possible convenience. The
following is the error message
