Hi Rahul,

If this is the first time you have tried to build Wireshark, then the usual advice is to go back and read the Developers Guide again and make sure you are following the prescribed method exactly as written because it does work for many people.

If you have done that, or you have previously built Wireshark successfully, is your copy of the sources modified in any way?  If so can you compile an unmodified version without the changes?

If you have recently updated your sources have you tried "nmake -f Makefile.nmake distclean" first?

What method did you use obtain your sources?

Finally, if you can't get any further, please attach the entire output of "nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools" and then the complete output of "nmake -f Makefile.nmake".

Regards,

Graham
