Hi,
Well, he's building the 1.1.4 development version, so 2008 should be fine. It seems that you've a botched tarball or working copy, since little has changed in this area for a long time. Try downloading a new tarball or revert changes in the working copy and start from the current head of development. 

Thanx,
Jaap

hi,
I think you should try building wireshark with visual studio 2005. Also Make appropriate changes in the config.nmake file. I also had problems with visual studio 2008. I have successfully build and running wireshark 1.0.5 with visual studio 2005. 

Rohan.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm new to the Wireshark development process and I'm having some
    building issues I hope you will be able to solve. Ok, so here it comes.

    I've followed the developers manual step-by-step and everything
    worked out fine until I had to issue the command "name
    Makefile.namke all". For some unknown reason this command seems to
    fail over and over again.
    The relevant output lines I managed to extract from the console are
    as follows:

    /*dissectors.lib(packet-ncp-sss.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved
    external symbol _
    ett_nds
    libwireshark.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
    NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
    Studio 9.0\VC\BIN
    \link.EXE"' : return code '0x460'
    Stop.
    NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
    Studio 9.0\VC\BIN
    \nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
    Stop.

    */The same output also appears when I'm trying to build the .sln
    file provided is the sources using VC++ 2008 Express Edition.
    Can someone point out what the problem is?

    Thanks in advance. Any help will be deeply appreciated.

    My building environment specs:
    OS - Microsoft Windows XP SP3
    IDE - Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
    SVN - TortoiseSVN
    Wireshark version - 1.1.4.0 (version info was taken from the
    config.nmake file)
