Hi,
I’m using NetBeans IDE + Cygwin instead of Microsoft Studios, then how
to deal with the parameter of MSVC_VARIAN in config.nmake?
Thanks for your help,
Vivian



My expectation (not knowing about Netbeans IDE) is that you're on your own.

config.nmake is intended for use with MSVC and *not* with gcc.


Re: using Cygwin gcc:

From the Wireshark Developers Guide
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChToolsGNUChain.html

[Warning]	Win32: Warn!
Using Cygwin gcc to compile Wireshark is "EXPERT ONLY" and therefore NOT recommended. If you really want to try it anyway, see: http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/CygwinGCC for some details!
You can checkout the referenced wikilink once the wiki maintenance is completed.
