Hello,
For some reason I've found myself on Windows with VS 2008! Where, oh
where, is my FreeBSD partition? ;-) I think it's a gravitational force
field of some sort from another dimension that's inescapable for me. :-)
I spent a bit of time last night with my Windows build environment which
is Visual Studio 2008 Pro and I had a couple of thoughts.
I disabled most of the optional packages, but did find ADNS ran into a
compile error... something about a struct type redefinition; but I
commented that package out and was able to compile everything else OK.
I ended up modifying some lines like below in "Makefile.nmake" to get
Wireshark to run and avoid the initialization error from the
non-existent manifests; which basically means adding the MSVC variant so
mt.exe gets executed for wireshark and all the other instances of lines
where I found "mt.exe":
Was:
!IF "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2005" || "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2005EE"
|| "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "DOTNET20"
mt.exe -nologo -manifest "wireshark.exe.manifest"
-outputresource:wireshark.exe;1
!ENDIF
My mod:
!IF "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2005" || "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2005EE"
|| "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "DOTNET20" || "$(MSVC_VARIANT)" == "MSVC2008EE"
mt.exe -nologo -manifest "wireshark.exe.manifest"
-outputresource:wireshark.exe;1
!ENDIF
So, this at least allows me to start Wireshark.exe, but if I try to open
a capture file, I never see the open file dialog displayed; it's as if
it was never clicked. Same behavior if I try the toolbar icon.
Trying to start a capture gets me the generic Windows error dialog where
I can click "Debug" and it takes me into the VS debugger and drops me
into "dbghook.c" with the following in the output window:
Microsoft Visual Studio C Runtime Library has detected a fatal error in
wireshark.exe.
The stack frame seems to be in "msvcr90.dll".
Right after the debug hook call, if I step through it, the next call is
to a Watson handler and then TerminateProcess. :-(
Just curious if anyone was looking at this or had put any time into it.
I have a feeling this is a large "can of worms" (cross CRT-version calls?).
I know... I should probably just install VS 2005EE. ;-)
Thanks, -Nathan
