Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] 0.10.2 build failure on Mac OS X: this is really weird ...
Okay ... sorry to response to my own post, but the issue seems to be
that 0.10.2 assumes you have pcap_if_t if you have pcap_findalldevs, a
sane assumption from my reading of the libpcap-0.8.1 headers. However,
OS X 10.3.2 ships with a weird version of libpcap that includes
pcap_findalldevs, but no definition for pcap_if_t.
Does anybody have a favorite workaround? I've reported this to the
darwin-development list.

Moreover, I can't find the pcap_if_t definition, in /usr/include, in
Apple's libpcap sources, or in the tcpdump.org tcpdump-0.6.2 tarball
(this is the version OS X 10.3.2 uses) or in the ethereal soures.
Where can I find pcap_if_t?
Please pardon any possible operator error, and please don't hesitate
to let me know if this sort of traffic should be on another list.
