There are both native and gnuwin32 (a.k.a. cygwin)-based Perl ports on NT since before Ethereal was born - I think it's OK to require it for the build environment. It's installing out of the box, so I think it makes sense to ask the developer to fetch it before the build.
(If you disagree, maybe you'd like to move it up to "distclean" level for win32?) > -----Original Message----- > From: Joerg Mayer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 7:59 AM > To: Ulf Lamping > Cc: Ethereal > Subject: Re: [Ethereal-dev] "Makefile.nmake clean" patch > > > Ulf, > > > which seems to be forgotten: > > > > x11-declarations.h > > x11-register-info.h > > I think we don't delete these files on purpose, as they > require perl to > regenerate.
