Where can I get the .PDB files for the Wireshark binaries? They are
created in the wireshark-gtk2 directory when you (successfully) compile
the sources. I am interested in the libwireshark.pdb and wireshark.pdb
of a recent version, i.e. 1.4.1, 1.4.2 and/or 1.2.13.

Background:
When debugging my own dissectors it's sometimes useful to trace into the
epan functions, what requires these debug program database.

I tried to compile the wireshark sources to generate libraries and PDBs. 
After "nmake -f Makefile.name setup" I started the build process. This 
fails always with this message:

What may be wrong here?


BTW: Despite the developer guide did not mentioned it, it was necessary 
to install sed in cygwin. I also renamed the /bin/link.exe so that the 
VS2008 linker could be found.
