Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Problem in building ethereal - help needed

["Sattanathan. S" <sattanathan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

Thanks for the comments.

I have installed bison v2.1 (downloaded from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/), and setted the path in config.nmake file.

Here is the output of nmake -f MakeFile.nmake verify_tools. Output shows that, it is able to detect the bison properly as per my configurations in config.win32

 

C:\ethereal-0.10.14>nmake -f MakeFile.nmake verify_tools

Problem is happening when it tries to execute bison -d -p ascend ascend-grammar.y -o ascend-grammar.c. Please let me know how I can solve this problem for executing nmake -f makefile.nmake all  for building ethereal.

Looking for your early help.

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.

 

Regards,

 

Graham

please make sure that you have bison.exe file in \VC98\bin folder .if not just download it and deploy.

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,
