Hi list,

I've tried to build Ethereal with the command nmake -f Makefile.nmake but it doesn't work !!!
Do I need cygwin to build it ? What is the problem ?

You need at least the following cygwin "tools":
bash
bison
flex
grep
find
perl
env
python (optional)
sed
unzip
wget

enter "nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools" to verify that your build environment is set up correctly. It should produce no errors to be able to produce a successful build.
