Hi,
I've tried to install Ethereal on CygWin as well.
It compiles but dies with a segmentation fault at runtime...
I'll try again!
By compiling it with --without-pcap, is it still possible to
do captures? TEthereal, that I compiled also, tells me it
was not compiled with libpcap, so captures are not allowed.
Do I need to specify that I want Ethereal to use winpcap
explicitly at compilation time?
