Download of Libraries failed

Question

Hello,

today I downloaded the newest Wireshark sources and tried to run "nmake Makefile.nmake setup", but the following error occured:

*** . ***

I use Windows 8.1 64bit, VisualStudio2013 and a 64bit build environment. BTW I don't use any proxy for my internet connection.

I just changed the WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR and it worked. The problem was a space character in the path, I am just confused how this leads to an Error 404 and a wrong download file name.

Something seems to be wrong with the URL for the package download. If you got to the packages download page you can see the x64 gtk2 packages listed such as gtk+-bundle_2.24.23-1.1_win64ws.zip.

When I run setup (for x86) the gtk2 package request looks like this:

****** gtk+-bundle_2.24.23-1.1_win32ws.zip ******
No HTTP proxy specified (http_proxy and HTTP_PROXY are empty).
Downloading gtk+-bundle_2.24.23-1.1_win32ws.zip into '/cygdrive/e/Wireshark/Wire
shark-win32-libs', installing into gtk2
File 'gtk+-bundle_2.24.23-1.1_win32ws.zip' already there; not retrieving.

So it looks as though something is up in your working copy. Have you made any changes at all, i.e. to config.nmake?
