Title: Wireshark Build Errors: airpcap.h, sync_pipe_write.c, #defines, and ints

I installed, configured, and ran “nmake –f Makefile.nmake”. I noticed some “warning: __int64 to int; possible loss of data” statements, some “already defined” statements, etc. It compiled and linked quite far. Then I received:

ringbuffer.c

timestats.c

util.c

version_info.c

airpcap_loader.c

airpcap_loader.c(47) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'airpcap.h':

Stop.

I’m using Wireshark 0.99.3a, Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 SP2, MSVS EE 6.0, Cygwin Bash 3.1.17(6)-release.

I assume the “warning” messages should be ignored.

The airpcap.h file is nowhere in the wireshark directory tree. I downloaded the developer package for airpcap, but it has no header file.

The README.win32 and Developer’s Guide have no reference to airpcap. I do not need wireless protocol support.

How can I resolve this?

Thank you,
