About deps/winpcap #51

Closed robsontenorio closed 7 years ago

robsontenorio commented 7 years ago

On README we can see: For Windows: WinPcap

So, deps/winpcap its just a "layer" to use a "winpcap dll" previously installed on host system?

On windows, do i must to have "winpcap" previously installed? Or "deps/winpcap" should manage it for me?

Yes, you still need either winpcap or npcap with winpcap compatibility installed. The files in deps/winpcap are just there as a convenience to be able to compile against winpcap because those development files are typically not installed (most users just have the main winpcap/npcap installation).
