This would be great, but the way I work (see README.win32 for
the whole story) I always disable plugin and pcap support when
building under cygwin:
$ PATH=/opt/gnome/bin:$PATH
$ ./autogen.sh --without-pcap --without-plugins
$ ./configure --without-pcap --without-plugins
As a side note, I'm still not able to figure out why I cannot run "make"
without fatal errors popping up, I always have to specify "ethereal.exe"
as target (see the required extension). If some autogen/automake guru
could provide some help here, he'll be more than welcomed :)
