[Winpcap-users] Winpcap in Intanium machine

[Renato Araújo Ferreira]

Ok, the documentation in 
http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_41b5/html/group__compilation.html worked 
for driver and packet.dll (no airpcap), but with wpcap.dll I'm gettint the 
following error:

c:\arquivos de programas\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\stdio.h(358) 
: error C3163: '_vsnprintf': attributes inconsistent with previous 
declaration
        c:\arquivos de programas\microsoft visual studio 
9.0\vc\include\stdio.h(350) : see declaration of '_vsnprintf'

Any suggestion?

Thanks...

But if I'm not getting success on compiling of winpcap in my machine, will
be futile to search a itanium one. I tried to use the PRJ dir with visual
studio, but didn't work. I saw the makefile that appears to use gcc, but i
don't know where to start. There's a lots of .bat files.

The only option that I found that appears to be ready to capture under
itanium is the Network Monitor 3.3 from Microsoft with their API. But I'm
not sure to consider this option.

My *guess* would be that it doesn't, as I think current versions of
WinPcap support x86-64, so the code is at least 64-bit clean.  I think
it has a compiler that translates the BPF filter program to machine
code; that compiler supports 32-bit x86 (and there's an x86-64 version
originally done for FreeBSD, which WinPcap might have picked up), but
there isn't one for Itanium, so, if there's no #ifdef, you might have
to disable that.  (BPF still works, it just runs interpretively.)

No, because WinPcap includes kernel-mode code (because it requires it,
in order to tap into the networking stack).
