Under Win32, libpcap is integrated in the WinPcap packet capture system.
|
|
WinPcap provides a framework that allows libpcap to capture the packets
|
|
under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4, Windows 2000
|
|
and Windows XP.
|
|
WinPcap binaries and source code can be found at http://winpcap.polito.it:
|
|
they include also a developer's pack with all the necessary to compile
|
|
libpcap-based applications under Windows.

How to compile libpcap with Visual Studio
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to compile libpcap you will need:
|
|
|
|
- version 6 (or higher) of Microsoft Visual Studio
|
|
- The November 2001 (or later) edition of Microsoft Platform
|
|
Software Development Kit (SDK), that contains some necessary includes
|
|
for IPv6 support. You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/sdk
|
|
- the latest WinPcap sources from http://winpcap.polito.it/install
|
|
|
|
The WinPcap source code already contains a recent (usually the latest
|
|
stable) version of libpcap. If you need to compile a different one,
|
|
simply download it from www.tcpdump.org and copy the sources in the
|
|
winpcap\wpcap\libpcap folder of the WinPcap distribution. If you want to
|
|
compile a libpcap source retrieved from the tcpdump.org Git, you will
|
|
have to create the scanner and the grammar by hand (with lex and yacc)
|
|
or with the cygnus makefile, since The Visual Studio project is not able
|
|
to build them.
|
|
|
|
Open the project file winpcap\wpcap\prj\wpcap.dsw with Visual Studio and
|
|
build wpcap.dll. wpcap.lib, the library file to link with the applications,
|
|
will be generated in winpcap\wpcap\lib\. wpcap.dll will be generated in
|
|
winpcap\wpcap\prj\release or winpcap\wpcap\prj\debug depending on the type
|
|
of binary that is being created.
|
|
|
|
How to compile libpcap with Cygnus
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To build wpcap.dll, cd to the directory WPCAP/PRJ of the WinPcap source code
|
|
distribution and type "make". libwpcap.a, the library file to link with the
|
|
applications, will be generated in winpcap\wpcap\lib\. wpcap.dll will be
|
|
generated in winpcap\wpcap\prj.
|
|
|
|
Remember, you CANNOT use the MSVC-generated .lib files with gcc, use
|
|
libwpcap.a instead.
|
|
|
|
"make install" installs wpcap.dll in the Windows system folder.
