Re: Build ethereal under winXP

1. unzip tar ball.
2. install cugwin with necessary components
3. install msvc++
4. set environment vairables by vcvars32
5. set correct path.( by PATH=
6.  copy win32.mak into witetap,epan, pluggins/mate, pluggins/stats_tree in
case u have a win32.mak errror
NOTE : following on command prompt not on cygwin prompt
7. nmake -f makefile.nmake distclean
8. nmake -f makefile.nmake verify_tools
9. nmake -f makefile.nmake setup
(if ur HTTP proxy is set then it will automatically download required
libraries else u need to download it mannually in correct path
(config.nmake) path)
10. sometimes (like in my case)  need to give -I option (i.e. include path
in cl.exe b'cos it was not taking automatically  from environment vairable)
with cl so in order to do so, changes in makefile.nmake. (most of time it is
not required)
11. nmake -f makefile.nmake
12. copy libraries into ethereal main folder. from all downloaded & from
wiretap & epan.
13. run ethereal, build new dissectors & contribute to this mailing list.
