Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Did anyone succeed in cleanly building Ethereal with MSVC now?

["Olivier Biot" <ethereal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,

If you perform a "nmake -f Makefile.nmake distclean", then a svn
update, then a normal (n)make, did someone succeed in building
Ethereal? I always get problems at the linkage step in epan as the
adler32.obj and other top-level directory objects cannot be found (see
yasterday's mails for more details). Some time later, linkage fails
again because of missing symbols in libethereal.def.

The problem is that I am not at all familiar with MSVC's nmake
configuration and symbol export stuff so I have to rely upon someone
else to have it fixed :(

Currently I am at SVN revision 11554.

I am compiling with GTK2 (no GTK1), the only changes from the SVN
snapshot are:
