failed to install libraries

Question

I tried to setup the build environment for Windows XP. I have installed Visual Studio 2005 ver.8, cygwin and python 27. Since I had problems with downloading the libraries, I did it manually by SVN. I put them into wireshark lib directory, which was specified in config.nmake file, and run "nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup". The following errors happen:

" .... File `gtk+-bundle_2.16.6-20100207_win32.zip' already there; not retrieving.

Extracting D:\doc\projects\myWIRESH~1.2\libs/gtk+-bundle_2.16.6-20100207_win32. zip into D:\doc\projects\myWIRESH~1.2\libs/gtk2

Can't open perl script "C:\Program": No such file or directory

ERROR: Couldn't unpack D:\doc\projects\myWIRESH~1.2\libs/gtk+-bundle_2.16.6-201 00207_win32.zip

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'd:\cygwin\bin\bash.EXE' : return code '0x1'

Stop."

Could you help to solve this issue please? What the perl script is mentioned above?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

it's win-setup.sh that's executing and it seems cygwins unzip you're missing. Try to make the verify_tools target first.

You can find all the details you need in the Wireshark Developer's Guide.

Answer 2

thank you for advise. I used the Dev Guide and unzip was installed and can read the lib archives. I expect that problem is in some perl script which was mentioned in the log. But the name of this script is truncated and I don't know what script exactly should be updated.

verify_tools results are ok:

   d:\doc\projects\my\wireshark-1.4.2>nmake /f Makefile.nmake verify_tools

Answer 3

Oh my god! Symbian! Pardon! I have just checked a presence of a tool but I didn't read the path completely.

Answer 4

Thank you very much for help. I have setup the environment successfully.

However I can't still build the wireshark.

Answer 5

SUCCESS :) Thank you.

There is small bug in GeoIP-1.4.6-win32ws\test\Makefile.vc (for win32).

It is necessary to add -DSRCDIR="GeoIP_src_path" as following:

CFLAGS=-DWIN32 -MD -nologo -DSRCDIR=\"d:\doc\projects\my\wireshark-1.4.2\libs\GeoIP-1.4.6-win32ws\"
