Hi

I am trying to set the complie path for the first time under windows.

1) I used the automated download to get the lib ( success)

2) $ ./configure --with-pcap=/cygdrive/c/ethereal-win32-libs/wpdpack

the pcap was installed in the default lib yet it was not able to detect it.

 

I found the following error message:

 

checking whether GLib supports loadable modules... yes

checking for inttypes.h... (cached) no

checking whether %llx can be used to format 64-bit integers... yes

checking for gethostbyname... yes

checking for connect... yes

checking whether to use libpcap for packet capture... yes

checking pcap.h usability... yes

checking pcap.h presence... yes

checking for pcap.h... yes

checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap... ./configure: 1: Bad file descriptor

no

checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap -lcfg -lodm... no

configure: error: Library libpcap not found.

 

I then downloaded the libcap source code and tried giving its path but no success. Plz help me.
