Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] wiretap compile failure

["Dave Richards" <d_m_richards@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believe timeval comes out of <winsock2.h> and not <sys/time.h>.  I checked my system (Win2K, VS6, August 2002 Platform SDK) and HAVE_SYS_TIME_H is not defined in config.h.win32.  There is a comment in the WINSOCK2.H file that says "taken from the BSD file sys/time.h" for the timeval struct.  Do you have the correct Winsock headers?

Subject: [Ethereal-dev] wiretap compile failure

Hello all.  I'm new to ethereal development, and I would like to make some additions to it's BACnet capabilities.

 

That said...

 

I'm trying to compile ethereal, but the compile files upon recurse into the wiretap directory.

 

wtap.h(359) : error C2079: 'ts' uses undefined struct 'timeval'

 

The compiler seems to be unable to find the timeval struct from <sys/time.h>

 

I'm compiling on a Windows 2K Pro box, with cygwin installed. 

Here's the configure.nmake I'm using:
