The real error - or perhaps "error" - is

    C:\wireshark-1.0.99-SVN-25290\tools\lemon\lemonflex-tail.inc(47) : warning
C409
: 'function' : different 'const' qualifiers

I seem to remember that MSVC++, at one point, got completely confused about
const, reporting that two items that, according to that dreary old document
ANSI X3.159-1989 "Programming Language C", had the same level of constness had
different const qualifiers.

"Fixing" the problem so that MSVC++ shut up merely meant that, instead, GCC
complained - and given that, as far as I can tell, GCC was right and MSVC++ was
wrong, I didn't bother applying the "fix".

I'll see whether this is the same problem.  If so, we may have to see whether
there's a #pragma or something such as that to tell MSVC++ to shut up.
