Running Ethereal, Tethereal, and Editcap on Win32
|
|
=================================================
|
|
You need the glib and gtk libraries for running Ethereal.
|
|
|
|
These packages for win32 can be found at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32
|
|
|
|
and at the home page for the GTK+ for Win32 project:
|
|
|
|
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/
|
|
|
|
(the mirror nearer to you may be faster).
|
|
|
|
Make sure the glib and gtk DLL's are in your path - i.e., that your path
|
|
includes the directory (folder) or directories (folders) in which those
|
|
DLLs are found - when you run Ethereal. This includes gtk-*.dll,
|
|
glib-*.dll, gmodule-*.dll, gdk-*.dll, and gnu-intl.dll. As of the
|
|
20000805 GTK+/GLIB distribution, gthread-*.dll is no longer needed.
|
|
|
|
The Win32 Binary distribution, available from
|
|
|
|
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32
|
|
|
|
used different version of the GTK+/GLIB libraries at different points
|
|
in time:
|
|
|
|
Ethereal Version GTK+/GLIB version
|
|
---------------- -----------------
|
|
0.8.11 and after 20000805
|
|
0.8.9 - 0.8.10 20000416
|
|
0.8.8 and before 19990828
|
|
|
|
|
|
Capturing Packets
|
|
-----------------
|
|
Remember, if using the the Win32 Binary distribution, available from
|
|
|
|
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32
|
|
|
|
there are two separate packages, one with non-capturing tools, and
|
|
one with capturing tools. Install the appropriate package. The
|
|
capturing version requires WinPcap, the non-capturing version does not.
|
|
|
|
In order to capture with Win32, you need to install the NDIS
|
|
packet capture driver for your particular Win32 OS; drivers for Windows
|
|
9x, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 can be downlaoded from the
|
|
WinPcap home page:
|
|
|
|
http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/
|
|
|
|
If Ethereal is not capturing packets, you can test your WinPcap
|
|
installatino by installing WinDump (TCPdump for Windows) ported by the
|
|
same folks who make WinPcap. It's at:
|
|
|
|
http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/windump/
|
|
|
|
They also make Analyzer, a GUI sniffer for Win32:
|
|
|
|
http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/analyzer/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling the Ethereal distribution from source
|
|
===============================================
|
|
You'll need the development package for GLIB, GTK+, and WinPcap.
|
|
Those versions are available from the respctive home pages for
|
|
each project (the same URLs as listed above). The development
|
|
packages contain header files and stub libaries to link against.
|
|
|
|
SNMP and ZLIB are not working yet in Ethereal/Win32, but the
|
|
libraries can be had from these locations if you want to hack:
|
|
|
|
The UCD SNMP library for win32 can be had from
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.revelstone.com/pub/snmp/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zlib (or 'libz') is available for Win32 from
|
|
|
|
http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instructions for MS Visual C
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
Modify the config.nmake file in the top directory of the Ethereal
|
|
source tree to work for your local configuration. You should not
|
|
have to modify any other Makefile.
|
|
|
|
Be sure that your command-line environment is set up to compile
|
|
and link 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.
|
|
|
|
In the ethereal directory, type "nmake -f makefile.nmake". It will
|
|
recurse into the subdirectories as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Some generated source is created by traditionally "Unix-ish" tools.
|
|
If you are building from an official distribution, these files are
|
|
already generated, so you have nothing to worry about unless you
|
|
modify the source. If building from a CVS image, you'll need the tools
|
|
to generate C source. The "special" files and their requisite tools are:
|
|
|
|
Source Output Tool
|
|
------ ------ ----
|
|
dfilter-grammar.y *.[ch] Bison or Yacc
|
|
dfilter-scanner.l *.c Flex
|
|
wiretap/ascend-grammar.y *.[ch] Bison or Yacc
|
|
wiretap/ascend-scanner.l *.c Flex
|
|
make-reg-dotc, packet*.c register.c Bash
|
|
ncp2222.py packet-ncp2222.c Python
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, if you have a Unix system handy, you can first build on Unix
|
|
to create the source files that these tools make, then run the build
|
|
on Windows. That will avoid the need for these tools on your Windows
|
|
computer.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a Unix system handy, most of those tools are available for
|
|
Win32 systems as part of the Cygwin package:
|
|
|
|
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
|
|
|
|
After installing them, you will probably have to modify the config.nmake
|
|
file to specify where the Cygwin binaries are installed.
|
|
|
|
Python for Win32 is available from
|
|
|
|
http://www.python.org/
|
|

Instructions for Cygwin
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
No one has ever compiled Ethereal entirely with Cygwin. It should not
|
|
be difficult, however. This spot is reserved for your instructions on
|
|
how to compile Ethereal with Cygwin.
