I doubt that you could get the generic version of libpcap to compile,
however, WinPcap is a good alternative, and it has support for cygwin. See
the 6 June entry on http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/news.htm  for the
details. Makefiles are included with most of the examples to illustrate its
use. And, minus some issues with signals, it works quite well.

VR, Charlie

You've probably seen these questions quite a few times, but I searched
through the mailing list archive and couldn't find the answers, so here we
go:

1 - Is it possible to install Libnet and/or libpcap in cygwin ? If yes, how
?

2 - Can I write C programs under Cygwin that use the WinPCap library I
installed ? How do I link to it with gcc ? I know that you use the -l
argument to link win32 libraries, but what would the name of the WinPCap
library be(if it's possible to use it) ?

3 - Are IP raw sockets supported or not under Cygwin ?

Thanks for any help.

Simon Ouellette
