Ethereal can be compiled on Win32 platforms. Some libraries are
needed, however.

The glib, gtk, glib-dev, and gtk-dev packages for win32 can be found
at http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32 You will definitely need these.

I have seen mention of a UCD SNMP library for win32 on the cygwin
home page, but I have not tried it with ethereal.

There is no open-source libpcap for win32 yet.


Instructions for MS Visual C
----------------------------
Download and install the glib-dev and gtk-dev packages. Modify
the top lines of Makefile.nmake and wiretap/Makefile.nmake accordingly.
In the wiretap directory, type "nmake -f makefile.nmake"
Then in the ethereal directory, type "nmake -f makefile.nmake"

You must set your HOME environment variable for ethereal to work.


Instructions for cygwin
-----------------------
No one has ever compiled ethereal with cygwin. It should not be difficult,
however. This spot is reserverd for your instructions on how to compile
ethereal with cygwin.
