Provide our own version of unix2dos. Add a unix2dos PowerShell script which converts UNIX / POSIX line endings to Windows / DOS. Remove dos2unix as a dependency.Does that - and the use of a PowerShell command in the Makefile.nmake for building an NSIS package - make PowerShell a requirement for Windows builds?
Yes.
If so, then does it come with all versions of Windows on which we support building, or does it have to be downloaded and installed on any of them?
It's a separate install for Windows Vista. Windows 7 ships with PowerShell 2.0 and Windows 8 ships with 3.0. I'm not sure how many developers are running Vista or (or XP) but we should list it as a requirement. Chocolatey and NuGet both require PowerShell 2.0. I can't tell if it's required by newer versions of Visual Studio. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
