Hi, I simply copied the following file (coming from older Dev Kit) Win32.mak to the Windows Kits (either 8.0 or 8.1) C:\Program Files(x86)\Windows\Kits\8.[0|1]\Include\Um Regards Robert From: wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org [mailto:wireshark-dev-bounces () wireshark org] On Behalf Of Graham Bloice Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2015 11:09 AM To: Developer support list for Wireshark Subject: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Update Windows Build Instructions On 4 January 2015 at 03:58, Stephen Fisher <sfisher () sdf org <mailto:sfisher () sdf org> > wrote: On Sat, Jan 03, 2015 at 06:52:56PM +0000, Graham Bloice wrote:
OK, it seems that even after all the complaints MS still haven't updated VS 201x to provide it. IIRC it went missing in VS2010. See here for at least one complaint about it: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/771247/win32-mak-is-missing-from-vs-2012-win-8-sdk-install
Which installs don't have it? I just installed VC 2013 Community Edition at home (the Win7 machine was at work), this time a32-bit Win8 and it also has the file, but I again needed to update the INCLUDE path: SET INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include Maybe your Win7 SDK came from an earlier install of the Platform SDK? I think mine did, I do have a separate entry for it in the Add\Remove Programs list. I don't think VS2013 installs that SDK, only the Win 8 ones which are missing the file. I really should try removing VS2013, removing the Win 7 SDK, checking for detritus and re-installing VS2013 CE again.
I wish we could distribute it ourselves, but it has an MS copyright notice on it. Can we ask someone about it?
Do we really need it? It says on the top: # Win32.Mak - Win32 application master NMAKE definitions file for the # Microsoft Windows SDK programming samples Which makes it sound like its intended for the programming samples and just setups up a bunch of variables/options. I think we do need some of the vars. I suppose we could replicate the bits we need in our own makefile. However, if I ever (or someone else assists) get the Windows CMake build fully operational, all this will go away as we can drop the nmake support. -- Graham Bloice
