[Winpcap-users] Still on compiler issue - what about GCC on Cygwin rather than MS VC 6

[Loris Degioanni]

As I've written some days ago, it's possible to compile winpcap with 
cygnus, although the version compiled with cygnus will miss some 
features like remote capture and dial-up adapters support.

I've always installed cygnus with the setup available at 
http://www.cygwin.com/: it's fast and not too big. I'm not able to 
provide help on manual installation of cygnus components.
