Issue with libpcap #72

Closed atirelli3 closed 6 years ago

atirelli3 commented 6 years ago

I patched the pypcap package with the new commit; but still have the same problem. I really don't know if i mess up something. C:\pypcap> python setup.py install Found pcap headers in C:\Python34\include\pcap.h None of the following found: ['libpcap.a', 'libpcap.so', 'libpcap.dylib', 'wpcap.lib']

I installed the npcap sdk package (WinPcap has compatibility issues with Windows 10, therefore it's recommended to use `Npcap https://nmap.org/npcap/) and rename the folderd as 'wpdpack', in C:\wpdpack

I use python 3.4

I installed the npcap sdk package (WinPcap has compatibility issues with Windows 10, therefore it's recommended to use `Npcap https://nmap.org/npcap/)

So does it include a wpcap.lib file, or is it called something like npcap.lib or pcap.lib or libpcap.lib?

and rename the folderd as 'wpdpack', in C:\wpdpack

So what was the name before you renamed it? If pypcap is looking for an SDK on Windows, in order to better support Npcap, it should look for the SDK in the location where Npcap puts it.

The file in the C:\wpdpack\Lib are wpcap.lib and the name before was 'npcap-sdk-0.1'; i just followed the steps in the pypcap/README.rst

Please clone the sources and run::

python setup.py install

Note for Windows users: Please download the Npcap SDK <https://nmap.org/npcap/>_, unpack the archive and put it into the sibling directory as wpdpack (setup.py will discover it).

Sample procedure in PowerShell::

cd ..
wget -usebasicparsing -outfile npcap-sdk-0.1.zip https://nmap.org/npcap/dist/npcap-sdk-0.1.zip
Expand-Archive -LiteralPath npcap-sdk-0.1.zip
mv npcap-sdk-0.1\npcap-sdk-0.1 wpdpack
cd pypcap
python setup.py install
