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
at http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32 You will definitely need these.
Download them and unpack them.

The UCD SNMP library for win32 can be had from
ftp://ftp.revelstone.com/pub/snmp/, but it has not been tested
with Ethereal.

The win32 versions of libpcap have not been integrated into
Ethereal yet.

Zlib (or 'libz') is available for Win32 from
http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/

Instructions for MS Visual C
----------------------------
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.

In the wiretap directory, type "nmake -f makefile.nmake"
In the gtk directory, type "nmake -f makefile.nmake"
Then in the ethereal directory, type "nmake -f makefile.nmake"

You must set your HOME environment variable for ethereal to work.

Make sure the glib and gtk DLL's are in your path when you run
ethereal. This includes gtk-*.dll, glib-*.dll, gmodule-*.dll, gdk-*.dll,
and gthread-*.dll

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.
