[Winpcap-users] Compiling issues while building WinDump.exe

[Gianluca Varenni]

In order to compile windump, you need to have a directory structure like this

|-windump   <--windump sources
|-winpcap   <--Winpcap sources

In particular, the winpcap sources folder should be named exactly "winpcap".

Moreover, the compilation requirements are the same as wpcap.dll, that is, you need to have the Microsoft Platform SDK installed and registered within Visual Studio 6. This is usually the cause of the errors like "struct 'in6_addr' undefined" and similar.
More details on where to find the Platform SDK can be found in section "compiling wpcap.dll" here

http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs40a1/html/group__compilation.html

I think we should update the documentation on how to compile windump sooner or later...

Have a nice day
GV

  Hi all,
   
  I installed WinCap and got my WinDump.exe running.
   
  However I wanted to build WinDump.exe from source .
   
  I extracted both WDumpSrc_3_9_3.zip and wpcapsrc_3_1.zip into same folder..
   
  While building WinDump I run into lot of errors.
   
  Few were about missing .h files which I had to point to in Wpcap source .
   
  But others are related to lack of declaration type.
   
  For instance 
   
  ip6.h(88) : error C2079: 'ip6_src' uses undefined struct 'in6_addr' 
  Running through entire source I see 'in6_addr'  defined in 'ip6_misc.h'
  but I dont find this file included in ip6.h
  Am I missing out on anything here..
   
  Cannot attach the build log file since it is quite huge. Pasted snippets from the build log below 
   
  Can somebody please help,
  Appreciate you help on this,
   
  thanks,
  Raghav
