build error for 1.8 with VS 2013

0

Hi,

Started testing builds with VS 2013 Pro (nmake build), complaints about redefinitions:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\include\um\ws2tcpip.h(531) : error
C2373: 'ws_inet_pton' : redefinition; different type modifiers

E:\Wireshark\trunk\wsutil/inet_v6defs.h(44) : see declaration of
'ws_inet_pton'


C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\include\um\ws2tcpip.h(548) : error
C2373: 'ws_inet_ntop' : redefinition; different type modifiers


E:\Wireshark\trunk\wsutil/inet_v6defs.h(46) : see declaration of
'ws_inet_ntop'

Looking at the definitions of these I can’t see what’s up.

Note that if you’re trying to build 2.0, then the Windows build system has switched to CMake.

What version of the Wireshark source are you building from ?.

This problem was fixed in Dec 2013. The fix appeared in Wireshark-1.12 sources.

OK, VS2013 isn't supported for that version.
