I did not build MSVC and Cygwin combination, I just want to try if it
can be built under pure Cygwin environment.

My problem is could not install libpcap under Cygwin environment, I
think it could be built under Cygwin if we fix this problem.

Regards,
Chris

A It makes it hard to understand the cause and effect.
Q What's wrong with top-posting?

I have Visual Studio .Net Professional 2003 and Visual Studio
Professional 2005. These days MSVC 6 is effectively unobtainable, at
least in my part of the world.

I have built Ethereal with VS 2003. I have not yet tried Wireshark or VS
2005.

Shame about MS's license conditions.
