I am on the ethereal-dev list; questions such as this should be sent to ethereal-dev, not sent to me with ethereal-dev CCed (especially given that I cannot answer all of them).

It might have GCC, but I don't use GCC when compiling on Windows, I use Microsoft Visual C++. If you want to use Cygwin's GCC, you'd have to follow the "Instructions for Cygwin" in the "README.win32" file in the top-level Ethereal source tree. I have never done that, so I cannot give you any help whatsoever on making that work. > Now, when I try to use omniidl, i get this error: > > I have placed all IDL files in the same directory > where I have ethereal and all its scripts and c files > > $ omniidl -p ./ -b ethereal_be GlobalDefs.idl > omniidl: Could not import back-end `ethereal_be' > omniidl: Maybe you need to use the -p option? > omniidl: (The error was `No module named tempfile') I cannot answer that, as I have never used omniidl; I will leave that to somebody who *has* used it to answer.
