Hi there,
I am a student of CompScience and I’m just trying to compile Ethereal under Windows XP using MSVC++ 6. I’ve installed all the necessary libraries, and I have modified the config.nmake file. Now, when I type “nmake –f makefile.nmake” as suggested in the Readme.win32, I get the error:

Could you please help me how to proceed?
Are you running the "vcvars32.bat" script before you run nmake? It sets up the various environment variables needed to run MSVC++ from the command line, including the path to win32.mak. By default it's located in c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\bin.
