pcap example code link failed

[Mr.Pytagoras]

Hi

I'm trying to test the pcap however I can't link the following code:


#define HAVE_REMOTE

#include <pcap.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define PCAP_SRC_IF_STRING "rpcap://"

int main()
{
pcap_if_t *alldevs;
pcap_if_t *d;
int i=0;
char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];

/* Retrieve the device list from the local machine */
if (pcap_findalldevs_ex(PCAP_SRC_IF_STRING ,NULL ,&alldevs, errbuf) == -1)
{
fprintf(stderr,"Error in pcap_findalldevs %s\n", errbuf);
exit(1);
}

/* Print the list */
for(d= alldevs; d != NULL; d= d->next)
{
printf("%d. %s", ++i, d->name);
if (d->description)
printf(" (%s)\n", d->description);
else
printf(" (No description available)\n");
}

if (i == 0)
{
printf("\nNo interfaces found!\n");
return (1);
}
pcap_freealldevs(alldevs);
return 0;
}
I have tested it with libpcap 1.1.1-2 from the ubuntu repozitory and also I downloaded the latest version from http://www.tcpdump.org/ and compiled it myself with prefix and then invoked gcc with that particular pcap-config but it is still giving me that error.

How can I solved it?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
forgot to add the error :)


/tmp/ccGQPBkK.o: In function `main':

well

I figured that it can't be figured :D because the



int pcap_findalldevs_ex (char *source, struct pcap_rmtauth *auth, pcap_if_t **alldevs, char *errbuf)


is windows specific extension to pcap

NICE :)

anyway, I'm going to keep this thread unsolved for some time and if someone managed to somehow run those function on linux please don't keep it for yourself.
