I'm sorry for not creating a thread. I'm using http base email, and it is
bouncing on this list.
Okay here is my experience so far. (Some of them would not be very very
accurate, since I was not logging all what I had been seeing )
1) I was expecting that I will install cygwin ( not necessary all the
packages that comes with it ).
2) I would not be using he cygwin env., as I saw in the doc as a note or
warning. But I would expect the header files should be in right directory
structure. As of today, the glib.h is severly outplaced if I try to bring
the glib package using cygwin setup. What I like to see is that there is a
root lib folder ( for example: c:\cygwin\lib or c:\wireshark\lib etc), and
other package (library incudeds ) should go under it. At least that is the
way the config.nmake file is showing. Also there should be a clear
indication about what needs to be pulled into the machine ( as an example
the glib that comes with cygwin , did not work, otherwise I would not to get
glib from sourceforge ).
3) Those optional components' configuration should be set off by default (
i.e commented out ). I saw winpcap for example was giving problem when I
tried to comment them out of configuration. My idea is minimally what I can
build, and then bring along components as needed.
4) Now there is another optional component snmp, when I comment out the
conf.nmake file I get some error. So I bring yet once again the net-snmp
under c:\cygwin\lib, and now I find other error.
Also I've seen sometime when I do the build from the root ( ie. c:\wireshark
), and if there happens to be a vc6.pdb file in the winpcap ( due to a
previous build but same env. and only 10mts to 1 hr old ), the linker
complains about that, i needed to clean all of those, rebuild that
component, and come back to the root to shoot the build and let it go pass
that point.
So it would be nice to spell out in the doc to mention if some of those libs
needs tobe brough over separately and independently of cygwin. As an example
the doc clearly says brings in python.
Once again, sorry for piggy-backing other note. I will fix my non-http based
client to send future emails, that way I would not pollute other thread.
NOW COMING TO THE BUILD ERROR I'M STUCK FOR NOW -

Hi,
1. Please start a new thread when discussing a new subject
2. What is your idea about using cygwin libs? You're advice to use
provided libs.
3. Have you followed the developer manual? I've done so just a month ago,
building just fine. So have others.
Thanx,
Jaap
