I use MSVC++ v6.0 & Cygwin. I recently spent better part of a week looking at how to build entirely under Cygwin (just to support one person who has .net 2005). I finally concluded that it is way too much work. I opted to install MS Virtual PC (now FREE) & setup an environment that can be moved from host to host (keeping to the copyright laws).
Thanks! That's exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for.
What debugger were you going to use, DDD??

eclipse? :)

Betreff: [Wireshark-dev] newbie building on cygwin,
windows... can't
find pcap
I'm trying to build Wireshark on a Windows PC, but I only have VC7,
which as far as I can tell, won't work. So I am trying to build
everything purely under cygwin. Does anyone do that? Or do
must people
install VC6 and cobble together the right tools?
When I try to build, configure discovers that I don't have pcap.h.
Searching around a bit on the net, I didn't seem to find a pcap for
cygwin, although I did see some people suggesting some complicated
ways to get winpcap to build.
How have people solved this in the past?
The "main line" is still using MSVC V6, see the Developer's
Guide for details.
I will go investigate that document further. I did spend some
time looking at it and I figured out that VC6 was supported,
but wasn't entirely sure on how (or if?) Cygwin integrated with VC6.
Does anyone out there use Cygwin only for windows development?
If so, does anyone know how to get libpcap for Cygwin?
Regards, ULFL
