Hi Manjunath,
On WIN32, there are several other requirements than just cygwin to
compile WS. Please check out the documentation at
http://wireshark.org/develop.html and
http://wireshark.org/download/docs/developer-guide-a4.pdf to start
with. If you follow the instructions in the developer guide without
deviating, you can will almost certainly be successful on the first
compile attempt.
Regards,
Abhik

I am a newbie to Wireshark development. My aim is to have a protocol
dissector.
I have Windows XP along with cygwin installed on my m/c.
I have downloaded source from
http://www.wireshark.org/download/src/wireshark-0.99.5.tar.gz
I read the "INSTALL" file and tried to do a "./configure" in wireshark
folder through cygwin.
Then, I got this error and stops.

checking whether to use libpcap for packet capture... yes
checking for extraneous pcap header directories... not found
checking pcap.h usability... no
checking pcap.h presence... no
checking for pcap.h... no
configure: error: Header file pcap.h not found; if you installed libpcap
from source, did you also do "make install-incl", and if you installed a
binary package of libpcap, is there also a developer's package of libpcap,
and did you also install that package?

I downloaded "libpcap" source from www.tcpdump.org and put inside
wireshark directory.
I tried to compile this libcap separately and got an error
