> Do you know if the current release has support for cygwin on x64 with > vista? I saw following statement in the change log for Version 4.1 > beta5, 08 jan 09 > http://www.winpcap.org/misc/changelog.htm > > "The developer's pack includes LIB files for both x86 and x64 (for > Visual Studio). At the moment we don't have the LIB files for Cygwin > under x64." > > Is this still a limitation? I noticed following two problems: The problem is not WinPcap. The problem is that, as far as I know, cygwin is 32bit only. There is no 64bit port of it. http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.what.supported "As far as we know no one is working on a native 64 bit version of Cygwin" > > 1) When I installed > http://www.winpcap.org/install/bin/WinPcap_4_1_2.exe it installs into > "Program Files (x86)" folder-- why is this not detecting that system > is x64? The installer binary is 32bit, so it installs the uninstaller in program files (x86). But it does install both 32 and 64 bit components on a 64bit OS. > > 2) After I install wpdpack as requirement for tcpreplay under cygwin > root dir, I cannot successfully run tcpreplay. It throws an error that > pcap file does not exist. The same sequence of installation > instructions works fine on a 32 bit machine. Have you asked the tcpreplay maintainers about that? WinPcap runs smoothly on a 64bit OS, but with in native 64bit mode and in 32bit compatibility mode (WoW64).
