Hello, I am trying to get the initial build of wireshark to work on my Windows
XP machine.  I have installed all the programs and packages that the developers
guide instructs.  I am using the recommended compiler and SDK (C compiler: 
"Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition" Platform SDK : "Microsoft Platform
SDK Server 2003 R2")

*  The initial installation/configuration of python/cygwin/express edition/sdk/
all went successfully.
*  Used tortoise SVN to check out the software.
*  Ran the cmd.exe commands to configure cmd.exe
*  Ran all verify tool steps and installed libraries = success
*  In Section 2.2.10 Build Wiresharkof the developers guide ran the make
command "nmake -f Makefile.nmake all"
When compiling I get an error with 'packet-erf.c'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\BIN\n
make.exe"' : return code '0x2'

then trying to ignore this error i appended '/i' to the command "nmake -f
Makefile.nmake all" statement.
I got the the additional error along with the error U1077
packet-erf.c(458) : error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file
gen
erated

Is there something I am missing with my setup that is hindering this compile?
