I've been trying to build Wireshark (latest SVN as well as 0.99.5) and I've been having some issues. I've seen this issue under both VS2003 and VS2005. I'm running XP SP2, and using the latest cygwin install.
When I run the build command for the first time, using the instructions from here: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/custom_dissector.asp, I get the following error: Linking dumpcap.exe link @C:\DOCUME~1\KMTAMBAS\LOCALS~1\Temp\nm58DE.tmp mt.exe -nologo -manifest "dumpcap.exe.manifest" -outputresource:dumpcap.exe;1 cd doc "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\nmake.exe" / -f Makefile.nmake Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.42 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

C:\src\wireshark\wireshark-svn> When I run 'nmake -f Makefile.nmake all' a second time, I get a similar error that involves a file called 'tshark.pod' and 'tshark.html'. If I run it a third time, I get a similar error about 'wireshark-filter.pod'. When I see the error, if I look in c:\src\wireshark\wireshark-svn\doc, I do see these files that it claims are missing (the *.pod files). When I issue the command the second and third times, it seems to get further than before it did previously. Running it a fourth time (to get past the 'wireshark-filter.pod' error message) never seems to get past that error, and I can't complete the build. c:\src\wireshark\wireshark-svn is the directory that I downloaded the latest SVN source into. I also tried to build 0.99.5 and had the same issue. Any thoughts on where to look for the source of the error? Does it point to something wrong in my environment? Only change to config.nmake was to add some text to VERSION_EXTRA and uncomment out my compiler. (Please include me on your response as I am not a subscriber.)
