    Would it be possible to create a Chocolatey (http://chocolatey.org/) package for Win flex-bison? Four our particular project (Wireshark) it would help to simplify the process of setting up a development environment on Windows.

      Sure.
      I will take a look at Chocolatey. Give me some time and I will upload packages there.

      P.S. Missed the reply button

        I added package to Chocolatey (http://chocolatey.org/packages/winflexbison).
        Please check! Is this what you are expecting?

          The win_flex and win_bison shell wrappers in bin have a couple of issues, but this appears to be a bug in Chocolatey: https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey/pull/383

          After fixing the wrappers manually I was able to build Wireshark and run it. Thanks!

            Great! You are welcome!
            I also noticed an issue with uninstalling packages in Chocolatey (https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey/issues/400).

            P.S. Thank you for amazing Wireshark.

    Can you update the Chocolatey package to point to win_flex_bison-2.5.3.zip? Right now "choco install winflexbison" fails because it's trying to download win_flex_bison-2.4.1.zip.

      OK. It's my fault - I moved win_flex_bison-2.4.1.zip into subfolder.
      Are you sure you need win_flex_bison-2.5.3 which contains bison version 3.0? Which version of bison your project is using under linux?

      NOTE: There are several deprecated features were removed in bison 3.0 so this version can break your projects. Please see http://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=7663
