source files, rather than having a pile of #ifdefs in "inet.c". Add
code to the configure script to determine which implementation to use on
the platform for which libpcap is being built.
Add a "pcap_findalldevs()" implementation for Solaris 8 and later that
handles IPv6 addresses.
change the directory mode to 755 after making the directory, so that the
directory is publicly readable and searchable even if the user doing the
"make install" has a umask that takes away public read and search
permissions. (I think that's been a problem at least once - somebody
had trouble configuring and building Ethereal, probably because
"/usr/local/include/net" wasn't publicly readable and searchable, and my
suspicion is that somebody did "make install-incl" or "make install" of
libpcap when their umask was 027.)
Fix the check for directory existence done before making
"$(DESTDIR)$(includedir)" and "$(DESTDIR)$(includedir)/net" to check for
the existence of those directories, not for the existence of
"$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)".
the classic BSD "F" flag, which tells it to *exclude* certain files, is
unnecessary; furthermore, some versions of tar may not support it, and
GNU tar, as appears in FreeBSD and perhaps other BSDs, and in Linux,
interprets the "F" flag as meaning "run, at the end of each archive
volume, the script whose name is given as an argument to the flag", so
it's not even syntactically compatible with the classic "F" flag.
The latter problem causes "make tar" to fail; we remove the "F" flags to
fix the problem.
