  I am a newbie  to Wireshark  
development. My aim is to have a protocol  dissector. 
I have Windows XP  along with cygwin  
installed on my m/c. 
I read the "INSTALL"  file and tried to do a 
"./configure" in wireshark folder through cygwin. 
Then, I got this error and stops.

checking whether to use libpcap for packet 
capture... yes checking for extraneous pcap header directories... not 
found checking pcap.h usability... no checking pcap.h presence... 
no checking for pcap.h... no configure: error: Header file pcap.h not 
found; if you installed libpcap from source, did you also do "make 
install-incl", and if you installed a binary package of libpcap, is there 
also a developer's package of libpcap, and did you also install that 
package? 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxENDxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
  
I downloaded "libpcap"  source from www.tcpdump.org  and put inside wireshark 
directory. 
I tried to compile this libcap separately and got 
an error

 How to move forward in the building 
process.???
