Re: Wireshark 3.4.8 build from source tarball fails generating build files

[Graham Bloice <graham.bloice () trihedral com>]

You don't appear to be following the current Developers Guide steps for
building Wireshark.  While it's not the only approach that will work, it is
known to work.

A couple of things jump out to me:

   1. Cygwin.  Building wireshark does not need Cygwin, and in the past it
   has caused issues. If at all possible don't have Cygwin present in your
   Wireshark build env.
   2. From 1.,  WIRESHARK_CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH is no longer used or
   does anything.
   3. No need to set WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM, that's set by the CMake
   scripts.
   4. Your Visual Studio environment seems odd, e.g. " -- Selecting Windows
   SDK version 8.1 to target Windows 6.1.7601. ".  normally VS2019 will
   have the Windows 10 SDK installed.
   5. As noted by Gerald WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR should NOT be the same as the
   build dir.  The WSDG steps set this to the parent of the source and build
   dirs, e.g.

C:\Development
    Wireshark (source dir)
    wsbuild64 (build dir)
    wireshark-win64-libs-xxx
