Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Build Error - Cant execute /usr/bin/pod2html

[jdolly@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi

Changing the Subject title to better reflect the issue I am facing.  I have followed the instructions as outlined in the Developer guide (http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/)

When I run "nmake -f Makefile.nmake all" , it appears that all the C files (including the packet dissector files) are compiling fine, but at the end I get the following error:

I have uninstalled and reinstalled cygwin, python and HTML Help Workshop and I continue to get this error.
 
Any help is most appreciated. Thanks.
