Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] 0.99.6 build problems on Windows

[<Timothy.Cook@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, but I came into this thread somewhere in the middle.  I didn't
see the original build output where your build stops.

If you have MS VC++ 6.0 installed, you don't need the SDK!!!
I have been building Ethereal/Wireshark for several years now with the
same MSVC installation!!

The only thing I've changed is the CYGWIN & WIRESHARK-WIN32-LIBS
versions.  I know when I changed from 99.2 to 99.6 that there were new
versions of CYGWIN tools & WIN32-LIBS required.  I also updated Python
to v2.4.

Over the next couple days, I'll rebuild my CYGWIN & WIRESHARK-WIN32-LIBS
environment.  I know there were a couple libraries that I couldn't use
the latest.
