I'm having trouble compiling libpcap on Solaris. I tried both the 0.6.2
distribution and the latest copy (as of 6/13/01) checked out of
anonymous cvs.
The machine I'm working on is a Sparc R220. 'uname -a' returns:
SunOS usf-cf-sparc-solaris-1 5.8 Generic_108528-05 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-60
The compile error is:
gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./inet.c
./inet.c: In function `pcap_lookupdev':
./inet.c:177: `SIOCGIFCONF' undeclared (first use in this function)
./inet.c:177: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
./inet.c:177: for each function it appears in.)
./inet.c:217: `SIOCGIFFLAGS' undeclared (first use in this function)
./inet.c: In function `pcap_lookupnet':
./inet.c:293: `SIOCGIFADDR' undeclared (first use in this function)
./inet.c:307: `SIOCGIFNETMASK' undeclared (first use in this function)
gmake: *** [inet.o] Error 1
On Linux, SIOCGIFCONF is defined in
/usr/include/bits/ioctls.h
/usr/include/linux/sockios.h
On the Solaris machine, a search yielded the following:
net/if.h: * OBSOLETE: Structure used in SIOCGIFCONF request.
sys/sockio.h:#define SIOCGIFCONF _IOWRN('i', 20, 8)
There is an ifdef in inet.c which only includes sockio.h if
HAVE_SYS_SOCKIO_H.
If I manually enable sockio.h, the compile continues and dies at
gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./gencode.c
In file included from ./gencode.c:56:
sll.h:83: parse error before `u_int16_t'
If I remove the reference to sll.h in gencode.c, the build completes ok.
My initial autoconf results are attached.
thanks,

ps. I went through this same exercise with the latest source, as of
6/13/01 from anonymous cvs and ran into the same problems. With the
newest codebase, however, I wasn't able to simply comment out sll.h.
There is a dependency on sll.h because LINUX_SLL_P_802_3 is now
referenced in gencode.c. had to make more involved changes to get the
newer codebase to compile. I've been following the tcpdump developer's
mailing list. Maybe some of the recent changes have introduced some
subtle/minor build problems on environments outside the mainstream dev
platforms.
hope that helps, and i'd be happy to provide any additional information
to help debug the problem.
here's my autoconf output.
