Hello

My system is 64-bit win7 ,and I follow the "wireshark develop guide ---Win32 :Step-by-step" (http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html) to set up the environment .But I fail at the 2.2.10 Build Wireshark ,after i call "nmake -f Makefile.nmake all" ,comes the error message :

 

        link -nologo -debug -incremental:no -opt:ref -def:win32/zlib.def -dll -i
mplib:zdll.lib  -out:zlib1.dll -base:0x5A4C0000 adler32.obj compress.obj crc32.o

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0
\VC\Bin\amd64\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

 

I use "setenv /Release /x64 /win7" in the windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt to set environment variables for Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition,as i don;t have vcvars64.bat  in the amd64 directory descript in vcvarsall.dll

 

Then what should i do to correct the error?

 

 

as i am not new to this,so hope you all can help me.

Thank you !!

Hi,

if you want to build a 64 bits Wirehshark, you must also change WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM from win32 to win64 (either by setting an environment variable or by editing config.nmake file).
Then you must do nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup once to download the win64 packages (you probably downloaded the 32 bits packages).
