Nmake fatal error U1023 while doing a distclean

0

I'm getting a error (U1023) while executing nmake -f Makefile.nmake distclean. Error code U1023 appears to be a syntax error. Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this? Is there any log I should look at to find out where distclean is failing? I'm pasting the last few lines of the output here

Where are your source file from, e.g. git or source package and which branch or version?

Have you made any changes to the sources?

I had downloaded the source tarball a few weeks ago because git is blocked. The file name is wireshark-1.12.1rc0-37-gafce994.tar.bz2 if that gives you a clue about the revision.

It appears somethings up with the commands in the distclean target of packaging\nsis\Makefile.nmake which does a simple rm of the built installers and also calls the clean target which rm's some other files.

There are a few expressions in the two targets, you can insert simple echo '-$(EXPRESSION)-' statements in those targets to see whats up with them.

Inserting the echo statements didn't help much because there is a syntax error in including the sources for dftest_LIBS. The syntax error is in the 11th line from the top, "epan\dfilter\dfilter.lib \"

dftest_LIBS= wiretap\wiretap-$(WTAP_VERSION).lib \

wsock32.lib user32.lib psapi.lib \

$(GLIB_LIBS) \


wsutil\libwsutil.lib \


$(GNUTLS_LIBS) </code>

!IFDEF ENABLE_LIBWIRESHARK

epan\libwireshark.lib </code>

!ELSE epan\dissectors\dissectors.lib </p>

epan\ftypes\ftypes.lib \

!ENDIF
