1. Foreword

This book tries to give you a guide to start your own experiments into the wonderful world of Ethereal development.

Developers who are new to Ethereal are often having a hard time getting their development environment up and running. This is especially true for Win32 developers, as a lot of the tools and methods used when building Ethereal are much more common in the UNIX world than on Win32.

The first part of this book will describe how to set up the environment needed to develop Ethereal.

The second part of this book will describe how to change the Ethereal source code.

We hope that you find this book useful, and look forward to your comments.
