I finally got it to compile, but now when I try and run ethereal.exe I get
a message stating, "The procedure entry point g_main_context_iteration
could not be located in the dynamic link library glib-1.3.dll."
Is there a way to build the installer? I'm not sure what the line,
MAKENSIS="C:/program files/nsis/makensis.exe"
is refering to in the config.nmake file.
