Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Build Error - Cant execute /usr/bin/pod2html
Hi 
Changing the Subject title to better reflect the issue I am facing. I have
followed the instructions as outlined in the Developer guide (http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/)
When I run "nmake -f Makefile.nmake all" , it appears that all the C
files (including the packet dissector files) are compiling fine, but at the end
I get the following error: 
/****/

bash -o igncr pod2html --title="tshark - The Wireshark Network Analyzer
1.1.2-DVB-SIM" --css=ws.css 
tshark.pod > tshark.html 
Can't execute /usr/bin/pod2html. 
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'bash' : return code '0x1d' 
Stop.

Stop."

I have uninstalled and reinstalled cygwin, python and HTML Help Workshop and I
continue to get this error. 
Any help is most appreciated. Thanks. 
My environment is Windows XP, Visual Studio 6.
