If you don't have pcap_open(), you probably don't have remote support, which is why it's required. I suppose it isn't "sufficient" in the sense that one could, in principle, build a version of libpcap that has pcap_open() but that only supports local capture, but that's rather unlikely. > Having hacked my way around that, it is clear from the resulting build > failures that a more recent version of libpcap is required :-( That's the universe's way of telling you that perhaps, sometimes, you should trust that autotools knows what it's doing, and not try to hack around it. :-) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
