Hmmm, the problem really seems to be that my dev environment fails to find pcap_open so it cannot support rpcap. That is, both HAVE_PCAP_OPEN and HAVE_PCAP_REMOTE are not defined, but HAVE_PCAP_REMOTE is not defined because HAVE_PCAP_OPEN is not defined. Now to see if a more recent version of libpcap that 1.5.3 has what I need.
I infer from "libpcap" that this isn't WinPcap and thus this isn't Windows. Until recently, rpcap support was not a standard part of libpcap. The tip of the libpcap master branch (1.9.0-PRE-GIT) does include libpcap support, but it's not configured in by default on UN*X, as I haven't audited the code to make sure it has no buffer overflow risks or other security issues. If you configure it with autotools, you have to configure with --enable-remote; if you configure it with CMake, you have to configure it with -DENABLE_REMOTE=YES. (Yes, CMake; I added CMake support to have something that handles building both on UN*X and on Windows. I also plan to add CMake support to tcpdump at some point.) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
