The underlying problem is integrating remote capture support, I don’t know what the latest is there.

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

Hi Gianluca,

 

We haven't changed what happens at all with wpcap.dll.  I guess we'll have to just make a big jump to current libpcap and create another patch to fix what hurts, although I know Guy was keen to make libpcap compile correctly on Windows.
