Title: Need help with libpcap
Post by: daxm on April 25, 2009, 12:07:15 AM

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?

So this helps me make libpcap (it appears) but how do I make a tce out of it?

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.
