On Windows, it's called WinPcap (WinPcap is a port of libpcap to
Windows). See the information at the bottom of
http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/CygwinGCC
after you've read everything else on that page, including the part that says
Using GCC might be quite difficult and the built binaries will only run
in a cygwin environment using an X server, so they are not standalone
Win32 applications.
If, however, you're using MSVC++ rather than Cygwin's GCC, as suggested by:

Stop.
then *DO NOT USE THE CONFIGURE SCRIPT*. The configure script is for use
on UN*X, and sort of works with Cygwin too when building under GCC, but
it is most definitely *NOT* intended for use with MSVC++.
We require Cygwin not for its use as a full-blown pretend-it's-UN*X
environment; we require it for some of its tools. Thus, the way you
build on Windows with MSVC++ is *NOT* the way you build it on UN*X, even
though you have Cygwin installed.
