Issue Building PcapPlusPlus Library From Source on Windows - MinGW-w64

[EMAN YEHIA]

  Hello,

 I'm currently trying to build the PcapPlusPlus library in windows  to include it in another project. I'm following the instructions outlined in the documentation [https://pcapplusplus.github.io/docs/install/mingw]. However, I've encountered an error at the first step of the build installation process.

Error Message:
CMake Error at cmake/modules/FindPCAP.cmake:77 (message):
  Couldn't determine how to link against libpcap
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:123 (find_package)

I've reviewed the documentation and checked my setup, but I'm still unable to resolve this issue. Could you please provide assistance or guidance on how to proceed?

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Hi,

Did you specify: -DPCAP_ROOT=<NpcapSDK_or_WinPcapDevPack_Directory>?

With the specific path where WinPcap / Npcap is installed?

Which SDK are you using? Is it WinPcap or Npcap?

Thanks,

PcapPlusPlus maintainer

- Yes, I used this command cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DPCAP_ROOT="D:\CPS\Projects\Recording\Recording Sniffer\npcap-sdk-1.13" -S . -B build. in cmd and an environment variable with key PCAP_ROOT and value  D:\CPS\Projects\Recording\Recording Sniffer\npcap-sdk-1.13 is created.

- I installed  npcap-1.79
- I used npcap-sdk-1.13

Maybe you don't have Npcap installed on your system?

I think it can't find the .dll file which Npcap installer installs.

Thanks,
