Error - Send queues</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hello everybody,</DIV>
<DIV> I am having problems with the compilation of the example
code found in:</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.winpcap.org/docs/man/html/group__wpcap__tut8.html"
target=_blank><FONT
color=#003399>http://www.winpcap.org/docs/man/html/group__wpcap__tut8.html</FONT></A></DIV>
<DIV>Precisely, the first example (sendpacket()) is fine; the problem is
with send queues' code example. I tried both VS 6.0 and .NET2003. These are
the errors I am getting:</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>VS6.0:</DIV>
<DIV>error C2664: 'pcap_next_ex' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'unsigned
char ** ' to 'const unsigned char **
'<BR> Conversion loses
qualifiers</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>.NET2003:</DIV>
<DIV>error C2664: 'pcap_next_ex' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'u_char
**__w64 ' to 'const u_char ** '</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>The code is exactly the one in the tutorial because I usually start by
getting the example code to work and then modify what needs to be
modified.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>I am really working in .NET2003, but I also tried VS6.0 just to make sure
it was not a small mistake I might have overlooked. Any help with be
greatly appreciated,</DIV>
