Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] Unresolved extern __HUGE when linking to anethereal library on Windows XP

["jscott" <jscott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've solved the conflicting library problems, I believe.  At least I got rid
of all the problems of library functions being multiple defined, by
controlling the order of linking libraries and forcing the linker to ignore
one specific library (libcmtd.lib).

Since you haven't heard of the __HUGE unresolved extern, maybe it's a
Windows library problem.  Thanks.  If I figure it out, I'll let you know.

I don't know about the specific HUGE problem.

But it's known that Ethereal won't compile on MSVC7 for conflicting 
MSVCRT.DLL reasons.
