Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] Can't make on Windows with Visual C++ on latest CVS

["Palmer Thomas J Civ HQ SSG/ENEM" <Thomas.Palmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My makefile.nmake looks like:


# On Windows, however, that script runs slowly, as multiple greps
# and seds are run for each input file, so, if Python is present
# (as indicated by PYTHON being defined), we run a faster Python
# script to do that work instead.  That script doesn't take the name
# of the file to write as an argument; it always writes to
# "register.c".
#
register.c: $(DISSECTOR_SRC)
!IFDEF PYTHON
	@echo Making register.c (using python)
	@$(PYTHON) make-reg-dotc.py . $(DISSECTOR_SRC)
!ELSE
	@echo Making register.c (using sh)
	@$(SH) make-reg-dotc register.c . $(DISSECTOR_SRC)
!ENDIF

and it works fine.
