I am a newbie to Wireshark development. My aim is to have a protocol dissector. I have Windows XP along with cygwin installed on my m/c. I have downloaded source from http://www.wireshark.org/download/src/wireshark-0.99.5.tar.gz I read the "INSTALL" file and tried to do a "./configure" in wireshark folder through cygwin. Then, I got this error and stops.

I tried to compile this libcap separately and got an error xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx checking for u_int16_t using gcc... yes checking for u_int32_t using gcc... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for sys/ioccom.h... no checking for sys/sockio.h... no checking for ifaddrs.h... no checking for limits.h... yes checking for netinet/if_ether.h... no checking for ANSI ioctl definitions... no configure: error: see the INSTALL for more info xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx How to move forward in the building process.??? -------Manju SASKEN BUSINESS DISCLAIMER ------------------------- This message may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.
