[Winpcap-users] Sample compile failure using MS VC 6

Francis,

although the project files for Visual Studio 6 are still provided for some of the samples, VS6 is no longer officially supported. I suggest you to use Visual Studio 2005.

Have a nice day
GV

Thanks Chuck.

I don't know if something got mangled in the email you saw, but the actual lines were:

/* MSVC compiler */
#ifndef _UINTPTR_T_DEFINED
#ifdef  _WIN64
typedef unsigned __int64    uintptr_t;
#else
typedef _W64 unsigned int   uintptr_t;
#endif
#define _UINTPTR_T_DEFINED
#endif

There were no comment delimiters after the #else statement.

pcap-stdinc.h is also the one of the standard distributed header files which I can't imagine should contain errors,

should be

#else /*typedef _W64 unsigned int   uintptr_t;*/

  I am completely new to Winpcap but would love to try out some of its
capabilities.

I have tried compiling the basic_dump.c sample provided but it fails
with multiple errors.  The first error is in pcap-stdinc.h, line 79 (in
bold italic below)

/* MSVC compiler */
#ifndef _UINTPTR_T_DEFINED
#ifdef  _WIN64
typedef unsigned __int64    uintptr_t;
#else/
*typedef _W64 unsigned int   uintptr_t;*/
#endif
#define _UINTPTR_T_DEFINED
#endif

the error reported was "C2054: expected '(' to follow '_W64'.

I am using Microsoft Visual C++ Version 6 with service pack 5 installed
under XP SP 3.

I would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this.
