Ulf,

Have you built Wireshark with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition 
(with Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows 2003 R2 in the WinXP build 
environment) yet?  I've never tried compiling Wireshark on Windows 
before so I don't know what these errors even mean:

ascend-scanner.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
__imp__strdup ref erenced in function _ascendlex

I end up getting "34 unresolved externals" that all appear to be 
standard C functions such as fprintf, fdopen, lseek, etc preceeded by 
__imp___(?).  This is early in the build process where it's linking the 
wiretap library together.

I don't mean to be pushy; I appreciate your work to get Wireshark to 
compile with newer versions of VC++.  I would love to be able to compile 
Wireshark with the free compiler from Microsoft if possible.


Thanks,
  Steve
