Hello,
Many programs need LibPcap to be built.But when compiling it,it says things
about packet capture type that I don't know how to port them to cygwin.
Is any way to solve this problem and compile libpcap or a ported version of
this?
The first step is to check whether there's an official libpcap package for
Cygwin. The Cygwin Package search page at http://cygwin.com/packages/
doesn't return any useful matches for pcap, so the answer to that is
no.
The second step is to do a Google search for cygwin libpcap and notice
that the first result refers to something called WinPcap. Scrolling
down on that same Google results page gets you to the WinPcap ChangeLog
page, which states, among other things:
wpcap.dll has been updated to libpcap 0.8.3 from
http://www.tcpdump.org.
The third step is to build WinPcap under Cygwin. If your application
works correctly, and modulo any license issues, you may want to offer to
maintain a Cygwin libpcap package. See http://cygwin.com/setup.html for
information on how to contribute.
