When I was working with Android 4 it definitely did not provide pcap of any sort, neither the header nor the library. I decided it was easiest to compile libpcap as a static library and link it into the binaries.
The Android NDK only provides very basic libraries - static versions of libc, libm, libz, and libstdc++. What any particular device has available at runtime is another question entirely. -Henry On 16 September 2016 at 19:15, Mark Pizzolato <[email protected]> wrote: > Good point.
