[Winpcap-users] Link Error

[Gianluca Varenni]

Hi.

I'm pretty sure that VC++ express does NOT include the platform SDK (if I remember well, they suggest to download it from the web).

Since you are trying to download the PSDK from the internet, please make sure to download it from the URL I gave you in the last mail, although it's a rather old one: all the recent platform SDKs do NOT integrate and CANNOT be used with Visual Studio 6. The one I suggested is the LAST PSDK compatible with VC6.

Have a nice day
GV

  Hi GV,

  Thanks for the info guys
  Still having no luck with iphlpapi.lib.  I have downloaded the PSDK-x86.exe from microsoft but when it loads it wants a file from the microsoft downloads "...../PSDK-AMD64_o-common.0.cab".  It tries to get this from the net but fails.  You get no option to skip you can only cancel or retry.  I have tried downloading the PSDK-AMD64.exe but it will not run says it is not a Win32 application.

  I cannot download the full SDK because it would take over 22 hours at our dial up speed.  We are too far from exchange to get broadband.  I am currently trying to get someone with broadband to download SDK onto a disk for me.

  Does any one know if Micorsoft Visual C++ Express contains the necessary SDK because I could download this?

  Many thanks for the help and I accept that it is not a Winpcap issue.

  Regards

  Ray

    Hi Ray,

    Did you solve your linking problem? I'm not 100% sure, but I think that the 
    ip helper api LIB file (iphlpapi.lib) is not included in the "vanilla" 
    Visual C++ 6.0 installation, you need to install a version of the Microsoft 
    Platform SDK compatible with VC6 in order to have that lib file.  This 
    version of the PSDK is available on the Microsoft web site at

    http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm.

    Hope it helps
    GV

    Hi

    I downloaded WpdPack_3_2_alpha earlier this week.  I am running under 
    WIndows XP Version 5.1 using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.

    I have been trying to get the Examples-pcap applications to run.  My problem 
    is that when I link I get the error:
        "LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "Iphlpapi.lib"


    Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong please

    Regards

    Ray
