That's my fault... I failed to include both of these [non-generated]
files in the distribution tarball.
Unfortunately, we *do* maintain both Makefile.am and Makefile.nmake
files. I've toyed with some ideas of defining the build in separate syntax
and producing GNU make and nmake files from them, but there's no serious
code to do so yet.
You should download one of the nightly CVS tarballs from
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/nightly-builds/
to get these files. (I'd just send them to you, but the copies I have
locally are somewhat modified)
I'll make sure these files are in future distributions.

> Hi there,
> I'm trying to compile ethereal 0.8.17-a under Win32 using MSVC 5. So far
I've encountered two problems:
>
> 1. ./wiretap/wtap.def didn't exist, and was required for building the
writetap DLL. I managed to find one in the ethereal-dev mailing list
archives, but I was wondering if this was supposed to be automatically
generated or something?
>
> 2. ./Makefile.nmake is set up to try and perform a make in ./image, but
there's no Makefiles of any variety there.
>
> I'd also like to know if the Makefile.nmake is automatically generated,
and if so, how do I generate it? I'm compiling with a couple of home-made
dissectors under Linux and Win32 and it'd be nice to not have to make
changes to Makefile.am AND Makefile.nmake.
