of support [1], for the eventual Wireshark 1.6 release I suggest
consideration of ending support for older Windows
compilers/SDK's. (Wireshark 1.4 would continue to support
compilers as now).
For Wireshark 1.6:
Support the following ?
!ELSEIF "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2005" || \
"$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2005EE" || \
"$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "DOTNET20" || \
"$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2008" || \
"$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2008EE" || \
"$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2010" || \
"$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2010EE"
and not these ?
!IF "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC6" || \
"$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2002" || \
"$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "DOTNET10" || \
"$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2003" || \
"$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "DOTNET11"
Comments ?

Possibly
taking us off in a tangent, but I think the code detecting the
compiler in use is actually wrong. IMHO hat is more important
is the SDK that is being used. Each compiler ships with a
version of the SDK, but users can easily download a newer SDK to
use with an older compiler to gain access to newer OS features
in the SDK header files. Oue current approach of tying
available OS features to the compiler used is IMHO flawed.
If we went with this approach, the config.nmake and all the
compile time conditionals could be cleaned up a lot.
