I had developed a plugin using version 1.4 and wanted to recompile against 1.7.
I installed the sources, edited config.nmake to use VS2010 and executed "nmake
-f Makefile.nmake verify_tools". I received the error message:
C:\wireshark-win32-libs\current_tag.txt is (unknown)
Creating this file just to complete the verification process as I had done for
the 1.4 installation did not eliminate the message. I chose to ignore the error
and attempted to run the setup phase. This failed without installing the
libraries in the correct folder. Further investigation revealed that a new and
incorrect folder had been created on my C dive namely
"C:\cygdrive\c\wireshark-win32-libs". Suspecting a path issue I compared the
win-setup.sh from the 1.4 and 1.7 releases and found that the four lines of the
form:
DEST_PATH=`cygpath --dos "$2"`
Had been modified in 1.7 to remove the -dos flag. I added this flag back in and
re-ran the setup phase without any errors.
Why was this flag removed?
