Hi List!
As writing the developer's guide, I found it hard to describe howto
setup a working Ethereal development environment.
As one step to make it more easy, I've changed the default of the python
setting from
python=C:\python23\python.exe
to
python=env python
so it will use cygwin as default. This was the only left over tool not
using the cygwin environment.
Now the way to describe the first steps getting the build up and running
is simply:
get and install cygwin with the required packages
should be enough.
I don't want to prevent others from using whatever tools they like, but
I want to have a clean and *easy* way to give novice win32 Ethereal
developers a chance for a quick start.
Regards, ULFL
P.S: I've also added some small additional comments and removed the
obsolete YACC_OPTS setting from config.nmake
