Hi Chris,

     I am trying to build wireshark image. I am facing the error " [Wireshark-dev] LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _ett_nds". I found your post in the wireshark mail archive posted in the year 2008. I thought you might have figured the way out. It would be a lot of help if you could give me your inputs on it.

I have followed the same steps as mentioned in the wireshark website:
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html#ChSetupPrepareCommandCom

Here is the log when i do a verify_tools.

C:\>cd wireshark

C:\wireshark>nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools

and after the nmake all the errors log is as follows:

   Creating library libwireshark.lib and object libwireshark.exp
dissectors.lib(packet-ncp-sss.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _ett_nds
libwireshark.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

I would be a great help if you can help me resolve this. Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks,
