...and because we haven't been keeping the Makefiles, etc. for Visual
C{++} up-to-date, and haven't been checking to make sure we could
actually build on Win32. Even a guru would probably go crazy trying to
get it to build, at this point....
Somebody on the "ethereal-dev" list indicated that he'd compiled it with
the Cygnus compiler and libraries (which provide a somewhat more
UNIX-like environment than you'd get with Visual C{++}), complete with
a version of "libpcap" that lets it capture packets. However, he's
still working on it; he indicate that when he's done he'll send the
changes to "ethereal-dev".
There'd probably be more work involved to make that work with Visual
C{++} as well; I checked in some changes to try to bring some of the
Makefiles, etc. up to date, but they're definitely not sufficient - it
came closer to building on my NT partition at home, but it didn't build.
I.e., you may have to wait for the 0.8.1 release, or perhaps a later
release - the 0.8.0 release will probably come out soon, but, as
indicated, that won't have all that's needed to get it to build on
Windows - unless somebody else has also made it build and has a binary
(if they have, could they send to the "ethereal-dev@xxxxxxxx" list the
changes they had to make, so we can incorporate them in a future
release?).
