Mention pcap #192

Closed ambiamber closed 1 year ago

People should know ahead of the time if they are going to install software that uses pcap.

Hello!

So I will make it a bit easier to see, but the reason it's not in that list is because it is not a hard dependency. technically you can set -DUSE_PCAP_NETWORKING=OFF and you no longer need libpcap, in the help documentation it mentions this

-DUSE_PCAP_NETWORKING=ON : Build with pcap networking support. (Needs USE_NETWORKING to compile) Requires libpcap.

By default it is on, but if they dont want to include pcap, they can set it to OFF.

Is there an tutorial available for getting pcap to work with the Linux based build? I did not manage to get it running yet.
