 I just checked my config.h (which I did not do last time). It
 seems everything like PACKAGE, VERSION etc. is well inside, as
 well as HAVE_UNISTD_H. The problem seems to be in the conditionnal
 include "HAVE_CONFIG_H" at the beginning of tethereal.c. I took
 a fresh tethereal.c, and tried to build but "cannot unlink
 `tethereal.exe': Permission denied".
   This seems to be the consequence of a bug I spotted yesterday and was
 about to report:
    My Cygwin-built tethereal is hanging when I try to listen on my wifi
 card. Listening on the network card is OK, and tethereal exits when I
 SIGHUP (^C) but not when I try listening on the wifi.

 With a regular tethereal.exe, it dies nicely (but I never see nay
 packet on the interface). I guess this is somehow winpcap related.

 I fear I did not see this defines in the config.h, and since I had to
 do this on the first time, I guess it will be the same now. I'll tell
 you after my reboot.
