|Olivier,

|Weird!  No special flags.  I'm not exactly a Cygwin master, 
|but I don't seem 
|to get WIN32 and _WIN32 defined, so it never called load_pcap() (in 
|capture-wpcap.c).  The explanation is probably that the Unix code 
|(pcap-util-unix.c) works on Cygwin (not that I tried it).  

Not 'probably' but 'definitely' (I tested this some months ago).

You *could* even look for a source libpcap distribution and get it to
compile on cygwin :)

However the easiest way is by using the WinPCap developer's pack. All files
in wpdpack\Include (including subdirectory NET) must be copied to
/usr/local/include. Then also copy all *.a files in wpdpack\Lib to
/usr/local/lib/. Finally copy Packet.lib and wpcap.lib from wpdpack\Lib to
the /bin directory.

|Looks like I did it the hard way.
|
|But I definitely couldn't get it to configure.  The 
|AC_CHECK_LIB failed for me.

Could you verify your setup so it is the same as mine (see remarks above)
and give it a try? You *may* require running make distclean before getting a
succesful build.

Regards,

Olivier
