Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] [Wireshark plugin build]: Error while compiling plugin

[shreejith bl <shreejithbl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I am trying to build a plugin.dll. I am using the wireshark sources from the revision HEAD (latest source).
I am using VC++ 2008 Express Edition. Same was the case with VS .NET 2003.

I am getting the following error. Can someone please help me in this regard?

Thanks,
Shreejith
