Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] I cannot compile ethereal ethereal-0.9.14 on Win32

["Pierre Pacchioni" <pierre.pacchioni@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I got a ton of errors when I tried to compile Ethereal on Win32
(Windows2000).
I followed all the steps indicated in the README.win32 (including running
the cleanbld.bat script), installed all the packages, modified the
config.nmake file.
So before I spend too many time on that, is someone can tell me what I'm
wrong?
Thanks,
Cheers,
Pierre.
