Note that if you're building from a source tarball, before the first

build you must do "nmake -f makefile.make distclean".

MS Visual C++ Version 6
This is the common compiler used for building Ethereal on win32.
If you've downloaded an Ethereal source tarball and unpacked it, then,
before you do any build, you must do
nmake -f makefile.nmake distclean
to get rid of files included in the source distribution that are built
for UN*X (so that the source distribution can be compiled on UN*X
without requiring tools such as Flex) and that won't compile on Windows
as generated.
You must also do that if you've built for UN*X in the same directory
tree, regardless of whether you are building from a source tarball or
from the Subversion tree.
You do not have to do this if you're directly building from the
Subversion tree, as long as you haven't done a UN*X build in the same
directory.
