Title: building ethereal with MSVC

I have been building ethereal under linux for some time, and am trying to get a build working under MSVC.

I am trying to use the "nmake -f makefile.nmake setup" command to automatically load all of the libs I need.

the problem I am having is that bash is not found unless I have cygwin installed.  I shouldn't need cygwin at all since I do not want to build under cygwin.  I have bash installed under c:\bin.

I tried modifying my config.nmake to make SH=c:\bin\bash  and several combinations, however for every case I get "bash not found".

Can someone give me a hint as to what I am doing wrong or maybe send me a sample config.nmake file?

Thanks,

Mike
