Hello,


I try to build Ethereal and I have the following Build

snoop.obj : error LNK2001: external symbol no solved
__imp___errno
...
OLDNAMES.lib(strdup.obi) : error LNK2001: external

wiretap-0.3.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 41 external
symbol no solved NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link'á: return code

What have I forgotten in my project ? I build using
WinXP and MSDev2003.
You've forgotten to read any documentation (Developer's Guide, README.win32, ...) on this task before asking the list.

Every relevant doc I've looked at clearly states that MSVC6 is the main line and any other version will certainly not work without experienced tweaking.
