Okay, Thx for the clarification.

That query was due to few discussions that
i found in internet w.r.t setting up ethereal(wireshark)
in cygwin (ethereal-users mailing list). So, i thought
that there some issues in using the combination
of windows based wireshark(ethereal) and cygwin
based application.

Thx,

It is certainly possible that there's some sort of weirdness
but nothing I am aware of or have seen. But that would
definitely be a question for another forum.

I expect you'll be just fine.

Okay, Thx for your prompt response.

I will try my cygwin based application with the
Windows based Wireshark. I am dropping the
approach of setting up the wireshark(ethereal) in cygwin
as of now (until there are some genuine issues in
using windows based wireshark with cygwin based
application).

Thx,

But how else will he find someone with an actual clue?

Admittedly, the cross-posting is excessive, and a Followup-To: should
be set. But I've often found that the Linux support groups are much
better for network, cross-platform, or GNU toolchain issues than pure
Microsoft groups where they may not even know how to build things with
gcc and a real autoconf setup.
