Hmmm.
 
Bison should be in the usual place for cygwin bison, e.g. drive_and_path_to_cygwin/usr/bin/bison.
 
It sounds as though your build environment is fubared.
 
The path to the cygwin binaries (CYGWIN_PATH) is set in config.nmake which is then added to the main PATH.

Hi,
 
I'm getting the following error when I was trying to execute nmake -f makefile.nmake in command line prompt of Windows XP for the purpose of setting up of an development environment.
Platform: Windows XP, using Visual Studio 6.
FYI: I have installed all the softwares/tools/libraries as per README.win32 file, developer guide. nmake -f makefile.nmake verify_tools command is listing all the installed softwares as per the documentation provided in the Ethereal site.
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
        "bison"  -d -p ascend ascend-grammar.y -o ascend-grammar.c
bison: m4: Invalid argument
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"bison"' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\N
MAKE.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
 
Please let me know how I can solve this problem for executing nmake -f makefile.nmake all  for building ethereal.
Looking for your kind help.
 
Thanks a lot,
Regds
