Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] wireshark fails when I build it

What is weird about the hole thing is that I kept my "old" sources in 
tact just in case the new sources blow up (like they did).

I can still build the old sources using the current set up on this same 
machine.

Plus I can also run "verify tools" with no problem with the new source 
code...but as soon as I build it....it blows up.

I am hoping wireshark is not that finicky between different source 
trees...???

I guess I will take you advice and uninstall perl and reinstall it (or 
something).....but again....the perl that is installed works fine with 
my older source tree build....
so why wouldn't it work fine with they new source tree build...????

I followed the directions to the "T" other than reinstalling all the 
apps again...(like perl, python, cygwin...etc)...as there should not be 
a need to as they do indeed already work.

Just wanted to see what your thoughts where before I start messing with 
things that appear to be working correctly.

Thanks,
Brian
