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.
It is possible to build Ethereal under Cygwin using their version
of XFree86. Ronnie Sahlberg has this to say in
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200205/msg00107.html:
To get it running there are some small steps :
1, Install XFree for Cygwin and make sure it runs properly
(www.cygwin.com)
2, Follow the GNOME link on www.cygwin.com and download, compile and install
both gtk 1.2.10 and glib 1.2.10 . Note on the page that there is a one line
fix required for
gtk to compile.
3, Download ethereal nightly snapshot and configure it with
./autogen.sh --without-pcap --without-plugins
(is it --without-plugin or --without-plugins ? dont remember)
4, Run 'make ethereal.exe'
Something is wrong with the makefile that gets generated so it doesnt work
just running make.
I am not curious enough to look at why 'make' doesnt work. 'make
ethereal.exe' works well
enough for me.
4, start X and ethereal, voila behold the mighty sniffer in all its glory.
