All sections of the file must have the same byte order, so that the
result of pcap_is_swapped() is the same throughout the file; all
interfaces in the file must have the same link-layer type and snapshot
length, so that pcap_datalink() and pcap_snapshot() can return a single
value for the entire file; and all interfaces must have the same time
resolution and offset.
build 125 and later to use the native BPF with both IPNET and traditional
MAC (ethernet, etc) packet sniffing, the attached patches are required.
The attached patches represent what's in our internal build tree for libpcap.
Add ADDLARCHIVEOBJS, so that we can put some stuff from -ldag into the
archive library (so it's self-contained, and the configuration processes
for programs not configured with pcap-config don't have to know about
the DAG library) but not into the shared library (as we can link libpcap
with the DAG shared library, so linking with -lpcap will cause -ldag to
be linked in at run time if necessary).
AC_DEFINEd value with no comment, and thus eliminates the need for
acconfig.h, so get rid of it.
Get rid of AC_LBL_LIBPCAP - we don't need it, this *is* libpcap.
Get rid of AC_LBL_TYPE_SIGNAL - we don't use it.
Update comments for AC_LBL_SOCKADDR_SA_LEN and AC_LBL_CHECK_LIB to match
tcpdump's versions.
written shared library support.
Clean up some comments, and (for now) always use "$(CC) -shared" to
build shared libraries with GCC.
Merge two separate "check the platform and set the compiler options"
switches.
build "traditional" AIX shared libraries, which are archive libraries
containing shared objects, so, on AIX, we build the archive library, for
the benefit of "build libpcap and tcpdump in subdirectories of the same
directory, with tcpdump linked statically with that libpcap", but don't
install it. Newer versions of AIX, at least, also support "standard"
.so-style UN*X shared libraries, but we stick with
<Tevye>Tradition!</Tevye>.)
Fix an AIX build problem that shows up when building with GCC.
Clean up HP-UX stuff.
a shared libpcap and add into the archive when making an archive
library. Make V_LIBS in the configure script, and LIBS in the Makefile,
a list of additional libraries with which to link a shared libpcap and
with which to link applications built with a non-shared libpcap.
linker, and include *BSD in the list of systems using GNU C and GNU ld.
Add support for building shared libraries on HP-UX (not yet tested).
Attempt to set the soname (or equivalent) appropriately when building a
shared library.
Build, and install, shared libraries by default.
Update config.guess and config.sub.
Separate the public and private headers, with separate "public headers"
and "all headers" variables, and install (and uninstall) all public
headers. Put all headers into the tarball.
Remove target man pages before making links.
Clean up white space a little.
Currently make install in libpcap never installs pcap/{vlan,bluetooth}.h
headers. Attached patch makes it install them in case support was built
in into libpcap.

patch in attachment fixes this issue.
pcap-linktype man pages; it should be section 7 for UN*Xes using the
V7/BSD conventions (this includes *BSD, Linux, and Mac OS X), and
section 5 for UN*Xes using the System V conventions (this includes
Solaris and HP-UX, and possibly AIX).
soname doesn't have the full version number (as that means that programs
built with libpcap will expect *that particular version* of libpcap, not
just any compatible version).
the OS X shared library; that's what it is in OS X, and that's what gets
built into clients linked against it, so it's not going to change in OS
X as that'd break binary compatibility.
VLAN packets sent over devices supporting VLAN tagging/stripping in
hardware don't have a VLAN header when they are received on packet
sockets. The VLAN TCI is available through the PACKET_AUXDATA cmsg,
reconstruct the entire header when necessary.
check in the generated version, and don't put it into the distribution.
Fix a bunch of references to tcpdump-workers@tcpdump.org to refer to the
new address, tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org.
Fix a reference to the pcap man page from the pcap-filter(4) man page.
Note that patches should be submitted on the SourceForge site, not sent
to the spam-trap patches@tcpdump.org list.
for it, for Mac OS X 10.4 and later. (The script could be useful for
BPF-based systems that don't use devfs as well.) We're not installing it
at this point; that might happen later.
Update HDR in Makefile.in to include all headers.
Add pcap_activate.3pcap to the list of man pages in the 3PCAP section.
Add an EXTRA_DIST variable to include all the files that should go into
the tarball and that aren't in CSRC, HDR, MAN3PCAP, or MAN4.
Use CSRC, HDR, MAN3PCAP, MAN4, and EXTRA_DIST to determine what goes
into the tarball, rather than doing a "make distclean" and putting
everything into the tarball; that way, you can do "make releasetar"
without cleaning out the current directory.
Given that we're not just tarring up the entire source directory, we can
make the tarball directory as a subdirectory of the current directory and
put the tarball into the current directory, rather than putting it into
a (not-entirely-obvious) ../n directory. Clean out the tarball
directory when we're done.
library has to be freed by the library, as an application or other
library using that library might have been built with a different
version of the C runtime library.
