Porting to itanium is not exactly trivial. Driver: you must use the WDK to compile the driver, and you will need to follow the directions at
http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_41b5/html/group__compilation.html *and* modify the "CompileDriver.bat" script. You might need to make some mods here and there. There are a number of #ifdef's for x64 (_AMD64_) that should be modified for IA64 too. Finally, if you run on Vista/2008/Win7/2008R2 IA64, I'm pretty sure the driver should be signed in order to even load. User level components: in this case you should be able to use WOW64 and use the standard 32bit DLLs that are already shipped.

I tried to use the PRJ dir with visual studio, but didn't work. I saw the makefile that appears to use gcc, but i don't know where to start. There's a lots of .bat files. The only option that I found that appears to be ready to capture under itanium is the Network Monitor 3.3 from Microsoft with their API. But I'm not sure to consider this option. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Guy Harris" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 4:03 PM Subject: Re: [Winpcap-users] Winpcap in Intanium machine On Sep 30, 2009, at 11:56 AM, Renato Araújo Ferreira wrote: > I will try to borrow a itanium machine to see if the application > will work properly.

My *guess* would be that it doesn't, as I think current versions of WinPcap support x86-64, so the code is at least 64-bit clean. I think it has a compiler that translates the BPF filter program to machine code; that compiler supports 32-bit x86 (and there's an x86-64 version originally done for FreeBSD, which WinPcap might have picked up), but there isn't one for Itanium, so, if there's no #ifdef, you might have to disable that. (BPF still works, it just runs interpretively.) > Isn't WOW64 an option? No, because WinPcap includes kernel-mode code (because it requires it, in order to tap into the networking stack). _______________________________________________ Winpcap-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.winpcap.org/mailman/listinfo/winpcap-users _______________________________________________ Winpcap-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.winpcap.org/mailman/listinfo/winpcap-users _______________________________________________ Winpcap-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.winpcap.org/mailman/listinfo/winpcap-users
