I have just went from downloading the source from the anonsvn repository
to using an SVN client on Windows instead, I am using TortoiseSVN and
have managed to do a complete checkout.
I then added the required libraries (gtk, glib, adns etc.) and edited
config.nmake to change the path to the ethereal source code and
libraries as one should do before compiling.
To compile I did (note that the following only shows the compilation the
second time to not waste your time with successful compiler output):

So I went looking for svnversion.h. It does not exist anywhere. At least
not amongst the source that TortoiseSVN got for me. I therefor went to
http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/network/monitoring/ethereal/ and downloaded
ethereal-0.10.8.tar.gz, just to be able to get a hold of svnversion.h. I
put it in the top directory, then ethereal finally was able to compile
and link.
What is the problem really with svnversion.h? Should it be generated
automatically or should it have been part of the SVN download which I
did earlier (what would cause it not to be downloaded with the rest of
the sources)?
