Under XP I have got as far as trying to build
Wireshark 00.99.4.
Unfortunately the build fails because of “env:
python: No such file or directory” when it gets to building dissectors.
I was a bit surprised by this as I got a clean copy
of the release and I am certain I have not deleted any files.
The latter part of the build output is given below.
 
Am I correct in saying the file packet-ncp2222.c  should
be in the directory “C:\Program Files\wireshark\epan\dissectors” ?
Any idea why it is missing and what is the best way
for me to resolve the problem?
 
Regards
RT
