Yes, the location of plugins needs to be more flexible.

The use of an SNMP library has not been made to work yet in
Ethereal/Win32, but a binary distribution of the UCD SNMP package,
including header files and a DLL of the UCD SNMP library, can be had
from:
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/
ftp://ftp.revelstone.com/snmp/binaries/
The file will probably be called "ucd-snmp-X.X-x86-win32.zip", where
"X.X" is the version number of the UCD SNMP library.

In order to compile, at least with the default settings, you also need
zlib and net-snmp. The pre-compiled zlib packages available on the
Gimp/Win32 and WinImage sites are faulty. A working version as well as
a precompiled version of net-snmp can be downloaded from:

Many of the file and directory names used in the build process go past
the old 8.3 naming limitations. As a result, at least on Windows NT
4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows .NET Server, you should use
the newer "cmd.exe" command interpreter instead of the old
"command.com", as the "command.com" on Windows 2000, at least, can't
handle non-8.3 directory names. (It may be that the "command.com" in
Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me, as it's the only command
interpreter in those systems, can handle those directories. If not, it
may not be possible to build Ethereal from the command line on those
versions of Windows.)
