>> Hello, everybody!
>>
>> Please excuse me for my very dumb question, Ok?
>>
>> First, I install
>> https://www.winpcap.org/install/bin/WinPcap_3_1.exe

>> Second, I download WpdPack 3.1 from winpcap.org, following the

>> I was unpacking it and place to desired folder.
>>
>> I use Visual C++ 6.0 for applications creating. In some my class
>> method I declared
>>
>> pcap_if_t *alldevs;
>>
>> and got "undeclared identifier" error from compiler.
>>
>> Following the instructions from WpdPack documentaion I insert
>> #include <pcap.h> to my .cpp file, adding wpcap.lib as additional
>> libraries, adding "include" and "lib" directories to additional
>> directories for MSVC (Tools/Options/Directories).
>>
>> But still got the "undeclared identifier" error.
>> error C2065: 'pcap_if_t' : undeclared identifier
>>
>> Where I was wrong? It seems like "pcap.h" is not including,
>> but why compiler does not say it to me?
>>
>> Can anyone tell me where I was wrong? Some FAQ?
>>
>> I understand that is very dump question and I can't find answer via

>>
>> PS. While reading mail archive I was added HAVE_REMOTE and WPCAP to
>> the preprocessor definitions, but still no luck?
>>
>> Have some ideas? Thank you very much.
