Note that "Nmake" in our case is actually "Nmake plus QMake". We could create a ui/qt/Makefile.nmake with the required moc, rcc, uic, and compiler commands but the effort would probably be better spent on bringing the CMake configuration to 100% completion. I'll send a separate email about that shortly. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
