You obscured screenshot looks as though you're building with nmake. Note that support for nmake will be dropped in 2.2.x, so you should switch to using CMake as per the Developer's Guide as soon as you can.

Please post the output from nmake (as text not a screenshot) to allow inspection of the actual output causing the error. Note that renaming "things" is unlikely to fix the issue.

Hi Grahamb

Updated the question with the output text form for the shell32.lib error

Thanks Dinesh Sadu

Something has gone wrong with your build environment. If you look at the buildbots for 1.12.x (as neither 2.0 or master build with nmake anymore), then you can see the link command line should start:

Linking libwireshark.dll
link  /INCREMENTAL:NO /NOLOGO -entry:_DllMainCRTStartup -dll kernel32.lib  ws2_32.lib mswsock.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib psapi.lib  /DEBUG

The bits between the link command and shell32.lib are provided by the nmake variables dlllflags and conlibsdll, which are in turn sourced from win32.mak. This file isn't provided by more recent installations of Visual Studio and has to be copied from an earlier version. I vaguely remember nmake objecting if it couldn't find this file. You might want to modify epan\Makefile.nmake to print out the contents of those variables.
