  <title>Quick Setup</title>
  <section id="ChSetupUNIX">
    <title>UNIX: Installation</title>
    <para>All the tools required are usually installed on a UNIX
    developer machine.</para>
    <para>If a tool is not already installed on your system, you
    will typically use the installation package from your
    distribution (by your favourite package manager: aptitude, yum,
    synaptics, ...).</para>
    <para>If an install package is not available, or you have a
    reason not to use it (maybe because it's simply too old), you
    can install that tool from source code. The following sections
    will provide you with the webpage addresses where you can get
    these sources.</para>
  </section>
  <section id="ChSetupWin32">
    <title>Win32: Step-by-Step Guide</title>
    <para>A quick setup guide for Win32 with recommended
    configuration.</para>

        <command>Unless you know exactly what you are doing, you
        should strictly follow the recommendations!</command>
      </para>
    </warning>
    <section id="ChSetupMSVC">
      <title>Install Microsoft C compiler and Platform SDK</title>
      <para>You need to install:
      <orderedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>C compiler:
          <ulink url="http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#Visual_Studio_2010_Express_Downloads">
          Download</ulink> and install "Microsoft Visual C++
          2010 Express Edition SP1." (This is a very large download.)</para>
        </listitem>

          <para>Platform SDK :

          Download</ulink>(420MB) and install "Microsoft Platform
		  SDK Server 2003 R2"</para>
        </listitem>
        -->
      </orderedlist></para>
      <para>Install MSVC the usual way. Don't forget to install
      <filename>vcvars32.bat</filename> or call it manually before building Wireshark.
      <filename>vcvars32.bat</filename> will set some required environment (e.g. the
      <varname>PATH</varname>) settings.</para>
      <tip>
        <title>You can use other Microsoft C compiler variants!</title>
        <para>It's possible to compile Wireshark with a wide range
        of Microsoft C compiler variants. For details see
        <xref linkend="ChToolsMSChain" />!</para>
      </tip>
      <warning>
        <title>Don't use Cygwin's gcc!</title>
        <para>Using Cygwin's gcc is not recommended and will
        certainly not work (at least without a lot of advanced
        tweaking). For further details on this topic, see
        <xref linkend="ChToolsGNUChain" />.</para>
      </warning>
      <para>XXX - mention the compiler and PSDK web installers -
      which significantly reduce download size - and find out the
      required components</para>
      <para>Wireshark development depends on several environment variables,
      particularly <varname>PATH</varname>. You can use a batch script to fill
      these in, for example

        <programlisting>
<![CDATA[@echo off
echo Adding things to the path...
set PATH=%PATH%;.
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\cygwin\bin

echo Setting up Visual Studio environment...
call "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"

title Command Prompt (VC++ 2010)]]>
        </programlisting>
      </para>
      <para>Why is this recommended? While this is a huge download,
      the 2010 Express Edition is the only free (as in beer)
      version that includes the Visual Studio integrated
      debugger. Visual C++ 2010 is also used to create official
      Wireshark builds, so it will likely have fewer development-related
      problems.</para>
    </section>
    <section id="ChSetupCygwin">
      <title>Install Cygwin</title>
      <para>
      <ulink url="http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe">
      Download</ulink> the Cygwin installer and start it.</para>
      <para>At the "Select Packages" page, you'll need to select
      some additional packages, which are not installed by default.
      Navigate to the required Category/Package row and click on
      the "Skip" item in the "New" column so it shows a version
      number for:
      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>Archive/unzip</para>
        </listitem>
        <listitem>
          <para>Archive/zip (only needed if you intend to build the U3 package)</para>
        </listitem>
        <listitem>
          <para>Base/rebase</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>Web/wget</para>
        </listitem>
      </itemizedlist></para>
      <para>After clicking the Next button several times, the setup
      will then download and install the selected packages (this
      may take a while).</para>
      <para>Why this is recommended: Cygwin's bash version is
      required, as no native Win32 version is available. As
      additional packages can easily be added, the perl and alike
      packages are also used.</para>
    </section>
    <section id="ChSetupPython">
      <title>Install Python</title>
      <para>Get the Python 2.7 installer from:
      <ulink url="http://python.org/download/" /> and install Python
      into the default location (C:\Python27).</para>
      <para>Why this is recommended: Cygwin's Python package
      doesn't work on some machines, so the Win32 native package is
      recommended.</para>
    </section>
    <section id="ChSetupsubversion">
      <title>Install Subversion Client</title>
      <para>Please note that the following is not required to build
      Wireshark, but can be quite helpful when working with the
      sources.</para>
      <para>Why this is recommended: updating a personal source
      tree is significantly easier to do with Subversion than
      downloading a zip file and merging new sources into a
      personal source tree "by hand".</para>
      <section>
        <title>Subversion</title>
        <para>If you want to work with the Wireshark Subversion
        source repositories (which is highly recommended, see
        <xref linkend="ChSrcObtain" />), it's recommended to
        install Subversion. This makes the first time setup easy
        and enables the Wireshark build process to determine your
        current source code revision. You can download the setup
        from
        <ulink url="http://subversion.apache.org/" /> and simply
        install it.</para>

      <section>
        <title>TortoiseSVN</title>
        <para>If you want to work with the Wireshark Subversion
        source repositories (which is highly recommended, see
        <xref linkend="ChSrcObtain" />), it's recommended to use
        TortoiseSVN for your everyday work. You can download the
        setup from
        <ulink url="http://subversion.apache.org/" /> and simply
        install it.</para>

      <para>Unfortunately, the link command is defined both in

      you'll need the MSVC link. If your link command looks
      something like: <command>/usr/bin/link</command>, the link command of Cygwin
      takes precedence over the MSVC one. To fix this, you can
      change your <varname>PATH</varname> environment setting or simply rename the
      <filename>link.exe</filename> in Cygwin. If you rename it, make sure to remember
      that a Cygwin update may provide a new version of it.</para>
