I believe the short answer is that the standard way to build Ethereal under
windows does *not* involve the use of configure & etc.
In essence:
1. Install basic cygwin (... bash & etc);
2. Download and unpack Ethereal source;
3. Look at (and change if desired) the config.nmake in the top-level Ethereal
directory to specify certain things such the location of cygwin (CYGWIN_PATH)
and the location to store various required library stuff (ETHEREAL_LIBS).
4. Determine/verify the presence of the required cygwin tools using
nmake -f makefile.nmake verify_tools
(Download additional cygwin stuff as required)
5. Download the various required libraries by using
nmake -f makefile.nmake setup
6. Make ethereal
nmake -f makefile.nmake dist-clean
nmake -f makefile.nmake all
I've undoubtely left something out; the details can be found in the
