Andrew, Thiis might not be the answer you're looking for but depending on what your'e trying to achive, you might find that installing linux on a vmware session might be good enough for a development environment and submitting patches to wireshark.
I've found this is as far as a development environment this works best as it is something extremely stable and constant (as opposed to a regular linux box that might be changing due to other applications). I've got such an vmware image but it is around 800mb and I don't really have a way of getting it you. I've you've got a server (or perhaps we can put it on the wireshark site as a torrent feeder...) I can put the image there. Regards, On 10/27/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've tried using cygwin, and cant get past the ./configure command.
