Hi folks,
I am trying to compile ethereal 0.10.0a under Windows XP
using MS VC++ 6. I have installed the necessary libraries and I updated the config.nmake in the following way: I just commented out the
line where the ENV variable “PATH” is defined, because the
Readme.win32 suggests doing so, if you don’t have python installed. The I
open a command prompt, execute “vcvars32.bat”
from within the directory where the Ethereal source lies. The next step,
executing nmake –f makefile.nmake,
fails and I see the following error:
// Prompt excerpt
C:\ethereal>nmake -f makefile.nmake

cd tools
NMAKE /
-f Makefile.nmake
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0

Makefile.nmake(6) : fatal error U1052: file '..\..\config.nmake' not found
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error
U1077: 'C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\BIN\NMAKE.EXE' : return co
de '0x2'
Stop.
// End prompt excerpt
As far as I understand, the script can’t find the Makefile.nmake in the “tools” subdirectory, and
in fact, there is no such file when I look into that directory.
Can you help me solve this problem please?
