To generate the build files enter the following at the Visual Studio command prompt:

Adjusting the paths as required to Python and the wireshark source tree. To use a different generator
modify the -G parameter, cmake -G lists all the CMake supported generators, but only Visual Studio is
supported for Wireshark builds.
+To build an x64 version, the -G parameter must have a Win64 suffix, e.g. -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64"
+
The CMake generation process will download the required 3rd party libraries (apart from Qt)
as required, then test each library for usability before generating the build files.
