Getting winpcap, Click and Cygwin to work together

[Gibson, Ian]

Hi there,

It's been a bit of a steep learning curve, but we've got Click-1.2.4 built
and running under Cygwin, and also built wincap using the Cygwin gcc patch
provided by Nate Lawson (now part of the winpcap download).

So, the next step beckons - how best to get the userlevel Click to talk to
winpcap.

The two options that present themselves are:

1) Write specific elements to provide an equivalent of the ToHost and
FromHost functionality.

2) Try and get the libpcap.a file produced under gcc/Cygwin to link in with
the existing Click version.


Option (2) would be more pleasing, but I suspect option (1) would be easier.

Any suggestions welcome!


Cheers,


	Ian.
