Need help with libpcap
« on: April 24, 2009, 09:07:15 PM »
I've got an application I'm trying to run on TinyCore that requires libpcap.so.0.8.3 bug the only version I can find in the repositories is libpcap v0.9.8.

Can anyone advise me what to do?

Compile that version using compiletc.tce?
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

For anyone who needs this library too here is what worked for me:

install compiletc.tce
download libpcap-0.8.3.tar.gz from archives at www.tcpdump.org to /tmp
as root:
  cd /tmp
  tar -zxvf libpcap-0.8.3.tar.gz
  cd libpcap-0.8.3
  ./configure
  make
  ld -shared -o libpcap.so.0.8.3 *.o
  mv libpcap.so.0.8.3 /usr/lib
  ldconfig

if needed:
  vi opt/.filetools.lst
    add usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8.3


if you want to keep your linux small, ftp off the libpcap.so.0.8.3 and upload it to /usr/lib on a fresh TC machine (no need for the compiletc.tce).  Don't forget to run ldconfig too.
