Subject: Net::Pcap 0.16 doesn't build on Win32 with libpcap 1.0
Hi,

I'm trying to build Net::Pcap on Win32 with Strawberry Perl 5.10 and dmake, but it fails for me like the attached session. There only is one pcap.h on my machine, the one that belongs to the (one) installed Pcap library. I've copied the include and lib files into C:\Strawberry\c\include resp. C:\Strawberry\c\lib, where they get picked up.

I don't know how to proceed here, as this doesn't look like the "usual" Win32 failures. Could it be that Net::Pcap has a problem with current versions of libpcap?

I am getting the same warning mesaages...see this perl monk node for more details. http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=863878. Do we have a solution for it?

The problem was in the function have_function(), which did not work on Win32. The attached patches make Net::Pcap 0.16+ compile and pass most tests against Winpcap 4.1.2 (libpcap 2.4). The meat of the patch is in patch 0003. -max
