Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] building tethereal under cygwin

[Biot Olivier <Olivier.Biot@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The output of ./configure of libpcap (either from WinPcap or from
tcpdump.org):

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

The ANSI ioctl test fails...
