Update with URLs for the Win32 port on both sides of the Atlantic, and with notes about possible problems with the latest version. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1549

Added support for compiling on win32 with Visual C and 'nmake'. It compiles, but does not link. Perhaps someone who understands the MS tools can help out. I made it link a few months ago, but with different version of glib/gtk+. I can't remember how I made it link. Most of the compatibility issues were resolved with adding #ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H the the source code. Please be sure to add this to all future code. svn path=/trunk/; revision=359

Ethereal can be compiled on Win32 platforms. Some libraries are
needed, however.
The glib, gtk, glib-dev, and gtk-dev packages for win32 can be found

(the mirror nearer to you may be faster).
You will definitely need these. Download them and unpack them. As of
2000-01-24, at least in one test, some problems have been seen with the
versions there; the page in question says
The latest version of my port, 19991218, might be buggier than
the next-to-previous version, 1990828. If you have problems
with the latest version, try the 19990828 version instead.
and the problems seemed not to be present with the 19990828 version. If
you see problems (e.g., a mangled hex dump window), that version can be
found at

Merge in the final code to make Ethereal run on Win32, compiled with MSVC 6.0 and 'nmake', the make tool that comes with MSVC. It compiles, links, and runs. It doesn't run correctly. There's a problem when reading files. I'm getting short reads. I'm not linking in zlib or libsnmp because it first needs to be debugged. I changed the plugin code to use gmodule instead of libltdl, but the Unix build still links ethereal against libltdl. I'll fix that tonight; sorry about leaving it in such a sad state, but I wanted to check in this code before I left work on a Friday night. Ethereal still works, but the building is less than optimal. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1479

Modify the top lines of Makefile.nmake, wiretap/Makefile.nmake, and
gtk/Makefile.nmake to point to your glib and gtk directories.

Be sure that your command-line environment is set up to compile
and linke with MSVC. When installing MSVC, you can have your
system's environment set up to always allow compiling from the
command line, or you can invoke the vcvars32.bat script.

Instructions for cygwin
-----------------------
No one has ever compiled ethereal with cygwin. It should not be difficult,
however. This spot is reserverd for your instructions on how to compile
ethereal with cygwin.
