Hello, I’ve tried to build wireshark 1.8.4 in Windows using Wireshark Step by Step guide: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html

I’ve installed all required software and passed verify-tools step but when I run nmake for setup stage I have an error:

 

****** gtk2 ******

No HTTP proxy specified (http_proxy and HTTP_PROXY are empty).

Downloading gtk2 into '/cygdrive/c/Program', installing into Files\Wireshark

cygwin warning:

  MS-DOS style path detected: /cygdrive/c/Program/Files\Wireshark

  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/Program/Files/Wireshark

  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.

  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'c:\cygwin\bin\bash.EXE' : return code '0x1'

Stop.

 

What’s the problem with that package? Also I don’t understand the message “Downloading gtk2 into '/cygdrive/c/Program', installing into Files\Wireshark” – it creates folder c:\program and with folder Files\Wireshark inside it. The path for wireshark_lib set to c:\Program Files\Wireshark

 

Is it normal behavior?

 



Try building (and putting your wireshark libs) in a path without spaces, e.g. C:\Wireshark.  I use Wireshark\trunk for the sources and Wireshark\libs for the libs.
