Hi Parul,

I never succeeded in compiling libpcap under cygwin, and now I'm used to
develop with CygWin and capture with a released Ethereal version on Win32
:^~
There are some clues in README.win32 for cygwin, and I also posted build
instructions for using GTK-2 in cygwin by means of precompiled packages
found on the Internet. See:

http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200309/msg00370.html (install
part 1)

part 2)

Regards,

Olivier

| Hi,
|  I'm trying to compile ethereal-0.9.15 under "pure cygwin" 
| and have followed
| the instructions as indicated on:
| http://www.csie.nctu.edu.tw/~smhuang/02build_ethereal.html
| 
| I have all the packages which the reference mentions and 
| installing them
| exactly the way the person suggests. Apart from during glib-1.2.10 and
| gtk+1.2.10 I do not use CFLAGS=-0.2
| rather I just do a ./configure, make and make install.. ( all 
| this seems to
| be OK)
| 
| The problem comes when I try and compile ethereal-0.9.15. I just say:
| 
| ./configure
| 
| and it complains of absence of "pcap.h". I checked that 
| "pcap.h" was present
| in "/usr/include" and also i copied pcap.h to 
| "/usr/local/include" .. just
| in-case.. but the problem still persists.
| 
| Any suggestions? I need to use pcap.h
| 
| Thanks and Regards,
| -Parul
