Re: error encountered during compilation on windows

Hello,

<< 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.>>

No, this is not the first time, I often make builds.

<< 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? >>

In all the previous cases , after getting the error when I commented  'WS_MSVC_NORETURN'(in except.h) before 
'except_throwd', 'except_throwf', 'except_rethrow', 'except_throwf' functions it worked.

<< If you have recently updated your sources have you tried "nmake -f Makefile.nmake distclean" first?>>
Yes, I modified the codes for ranap in asn1 folder and generated the corresponding .c files

<< What method did you use obtain your sources?>>
I downloaded the baseline code of wireshark from the website

Output of 'nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools':

Has it got anything to do with the timings in system clock ??

Please help me on this issue.



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
