Andrew,
Looks like Cygwin perl doesn't like a CR-LF terminated *.pod file. If
you do, for example,
% cd doc
% nmake -f makefile.nmake
% mv ethereal.pod ethereal.pod.crlf
% cat ethereal.pod.crlf | tr -d '\r' > ethereal.pod
% nmake -f makefile.nmake
then you'll get ethereal.html successfully created (the same thing
goes for tethereal). You'll get some warnings, however, which I think
can be ignored.
Regards,
