Re: Help on installing wireshark on Windows XP

["BARILLY YANN" <Yann.Barilly () alcatel-lucent fr>]

I met this problem last week too.
 
I simply downloaded the asked libs from

Hi,

    This is what I got if I do "nmake -f Makefile.nmake process_libs". I
have given the path correctly. I have changed the file location also.
Then also it was trying to download from internet.


nmake -f Makefile.nmake process_libs

                Hi,
                
                    If I do "nmake -f makefile.nmake process_libs", then
also it was trying to download the library files. I have given the
library files path also.

                                Hi,
                                
                                    Thanks for your comments.
                                    If I do nmake -f Makefile.nmake
allthen, this is the error I got. 
                                    "ERROR: Package
glib_2.18.1-1_win32.zip is needed but is apparently not downloaded;"
                                    I think I have to explicitly
configure wireshark with the library paths. I was not able to do "nmake
-f Makefile.nmake setup" because, I don't have a internet connection.
So, I downloaded all the library files required by wireshark and
installed it on "C:/wireshark-win32-libs/". 
                                    Please help me on this. Thanks in
advance.

                                   I am trying to install wireshark in
windows XP. I have installed
                                WinPcap also. I was using cygwin to
install wireshark.
                                   I have added one dissector parser
code which is working fine in
                                linux. After doing "make distclean" in
linux environment, and I have
                                taken the same source code to install it
in windows machine.
                                
                                   If I am doing ./configure, it was
showing the error "error: Can't
                                link with library libpcap.".
                                   Can anybody help me on this?. Please
correct me if I was wrong.

                                To amplify Japp's advice, Wireshark on
Windows is built with the Visual Studio toolset using nmake.  Cygwin is
required, but only for some small tools not natively provided on
Windows.
                                
                                Read the Developers Guide on tool setup:
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html
                                
                                
                                -- 
                                Regards,

                        Since you downloaded the libraries on your own
rather than by "nmake -f makefile.nmake setup" you most likely also need
to edit your config.nmake file and adjust the WIRESHARK_LIBS to pinpoint
to where you downloaded the libraries.
                         
                        Once WIRESHARK_LIBS points to the correct
location, you should be able to run "nmake -f makefile.nmake
process_libs" that will then process the downloaded libraries preparing
them for the build (extracting/decompressing/whatever).
                         
                        When that is done, run "nmake -f makefile.nmake
verify_tools" to ensure that nothing else is missing.
                         
                        Then (if you passed the steps above), you should
be able to compile and link!
                         
                        Regards, Peter 
                        

         
        It only actually attempts to download the library files if you
put them in the "wrong location", my guess is that you do not have
WIRESHARK_LIBS pointing in the right direction yet.
         
        When I do "nmake -f makefile.nmake process_libs" on my machine I
get the following:
        c:\Wireshark>nmake -f makefile.nmake process_libs
