[Winpcap-users] Error compiling WinPcap based applications by using Visual C++ 2008

Tue Jun 1 16:10:37 PDT 2010

Chin Shi Hong ,

I've copied the sample code from http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_411/html/group__wpcap__tut3.html and it works fine...

The difference is:

-          I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Professional (Not Visual C++ Express edition)

-          I created an empty Windows Console project (no precompiled header or stdafx files)

-          I added 1 file: test.cpp

-          I followed most of the steps under the heading "Visual Studio 2005 (needed to compile x64 applications"  in http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_411/html/group__wpcapsamps.html

o   I didn't add the pre-processor definitions

o   I just added extra the extra include directories and extra library dirs..

Perhaps start the project again, copy the code into a single test.cpp file like I have done (AND DON'T ALTER IT) and if it still doesn't work I'd be definitely pointing at the "Express Edition" as the cause of those errors, probably due to limited functionality of that edition.

Do you #include <pcap.h> first?

You shouldn't need to include any other WinPCAP header other than the above, my project compiles fine and uses the headers in the following order:

#pragma region Includes and Libs
// Disable CRT warnings on functions that are now deemed 'unsafe'
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

#include <pcap.h>
#include <winsock.h>
#include <iphlpapi.h>
#include <stdio.h>

// Non-standard LIBs to include
#pragma comment(lib, "wpcap.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "packet.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "ws2_32.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "iphlpapi.lib")
#pragma endregion

Dear all,

I am new to WinPcap, I had followed the instructions showed at http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_411/html/group__wpcapsamps.html . When I try to compile the codes I get from http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_411/html/group__wpcap__tut3.html , by using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition, I get the following errors:

I did include the header file. I just copy and paste the source code from http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_411/html/group__wpcap__tut3.html to visual c++. The source code on that website only include pcap.h header file.
