|It's been a while and I'm in the process of setting up a
|Windows build again. I am getting a couple of problems I
|don't recall having before.
|
|nmake (Version 1.50) is complaining about the following rule
|(line 23 of the top level Makefile.nmake).
Mmh... I strongly suspect you're trying to build Ethrereal with the recently
released MSVC++ 2003 Toolkit and an old nmake found on the Microsoft support
site. I have to disappoint you: this won't work (I have tried it).
You really need MSVC++ 6 (definitely not a more recent version, because of
mainly licensing reasons).
|.c.obj::
| $(CC) $(CVARSDLL) $(CFLAGS) -Fd.\ -c $<
|
|changing the above to
|
|.c.obj:
| $(CC) $(CVARSDLL) $(CFLAGS) -Fd.\ -c $<
|
|works, but that doesn't make sense.
Looks familiar... That's because of the old nmake you're using.
|Also I am getting the following error when nmake attempts to recurse
|
| cd tools
| NMAKE /D -f Makefile.nmake
|'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
|operable program or batch file.
|NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' :
|return code '0x1'
|Stop.
|
|If I cd to tools and run nmake by hand it complains when
|recursing into lemon. If I cd into lemon lemon.exe builds
|just fine. It looks like something isn't quoted properly, but
|I can't figure out what is causing the problem and why calling
|nmake recursively is triggering it.
|
|If it helps I have the latest 1.4 ethereal code out of CVS and
|I am attempting to build on XP.
|
|Any thoughts or suggestions?
Use MSVC++ 6.0 out of the box, or try building with CygWin or MinGW.
