Graham/Yang,
Please unicast me and I can give you some hints on how wpcap.dll is compiled on Windows. Shortly, we take the libpcap sources and apply a pretty substantial
patch on it to compile on Windows.
Have a nice day
GV

Hi Guy,
As you know, Npcap/WinPcap is currently based on libpcap 1.0 branch 1_0_rel0b (20091008), which is a very old version.
Adding features to so old wpcap.dll code will put me even farther away from the libpcap trunk.
So I wanted to use the latest libpcap code in Npcap before adding code. Actually I posted a thread on tcpdump list about how to build libpcap on Windows before. But no solutions.
Do you know how to build libpcap into wpcap.dll?
I guess Loris developed the 1st generation WinPcap and ported libpcap into wpcap.dll. How did he achieve this?
This is one of the priority items on my TODO list, however first I want to finish off getting all the Visual Studio Code Analysis issues first which has stalled due to lack of time, and the fact that VS2015 Update 1 has totally broken driver
remote deploy and test. I need to check if Update 2 has fixed that.
