Pull the documentation for pcap_freealldevs() into the
pcap_findalldevs() man page, and pull the documentation for
pcap_free_datalinks() into the pcap_list_datalinks() man page.
Instead of requiring the user to specify -arch options on OS X to build
a universal version of libpcap, just default to universal on OS X by
default. Pick the particular targets to match the way libpcap is built
for the OS for which we're building.
They allow the user to specify flags to indicate the target
architecture(s) (yes, possibly plural - think, for example, Mac OS X)
for which we're building. Those might need to be used not only when
compiling, but also when linking and when building a shared library.
This is not for general cross-compiling, it's for use on platforms where
versions of the native OS support more than one instruction set and
where you want to build for the OS on which you're running but not for
the default build architecture on the machine on which you're running.
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.
