"snprintf()", include one in libpcap with the name "pcap_snprintf()", so
applications don't have to supply their own "snprintf()" on those
platforms in order to use libpcap.
non-".devel" builds, with no automatically-generated dependencies,
"version.h" will be built before we try to build "pcap.o" ("pcap.c"
includes "version.h", so we need it to be built).
version of Red Hat Linux, HP-UX 11.00, and MacOS X 10.1, if a string in
a shared library is static, and returned by a function in that library,
the return value of that function, when called from a program, will
reflect the contents of the string in the version of the shared library
with which the program is running, not the version with which it's
linked.
Therefore we can just generate a definition of the version string and
put it into "version.h", which means that VERSION can contain any string
(as long as " and \ are escaped with \) rather than having to be N.M or
N.M.MM.
libpcap; it generates the string at run time on the first call, so that
it's not a constant string - in at least some UNIXes, constant data in a
shared library is kept separate from the library code, and is bound into
applications linked with that library at link time, not at run time, so
a constant string (such as "pcap_version[]") can reflect the version of
the library with which the application was built, not the version with
which it's running.
Document it, in the hopes that vendors will be less likely to omit it
from their libpcaps (unlike "pcap_version[]", which is absent from some
vendors' libpcaps).
create the BPF device nodes if necessary, and rename our "bpf.h" to
"pcap-bpf.h" and install it in "/usr/include", so that "pcap-bpf.c" gets
the system's bpf.h file if it includes <net/bpf.h> - on AIX, it needs to
get an AIX-specific structure from that header in order to support
loading the driver and creating the nodes.
Update "packaging/pcap.spec".
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.
