The binary from http://www.tcptrace.org/download/tcptrace-6.6.0.zip aborts
with a 'Win32 error 487' on my Windows XP SP2 machine.

I rebuilt from source using cygwin and the "Developer's pack download" from
http://winpcap.polito.it/install/default.htm for the pcap includes + libs
and that binary works for me.

I guess I was lucky - I didn't look at README.cygwin until after I made the
new binary. I did the ./configure ... make ... and got an error about a
missing wpcap. Grabbed the winpcap "Developer's pack download" and copied
the files from WpdPack\Include to the cygwin \usr\include\winpcap and
Wpdpack\Lib to \usr\local\lib\winpcap, added the new locations to the make
file
PCAP_INCS = -I/usr/local/include -I. -I../pcap -I/usr/include/pcap
-I/usr/include/winpcap
PCAP_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib -Llib -Lpcap -L../pcap -L./cygwin-libs
-L/usr/local/lib/winpcap
ran make again & that binary works :-)

It's incredibly easy to compile using cygwin - but for those that don't
want to I've put a zip file with tcptrace.exe and cygwin1.dll at
http://rian60.tripod.com/

Lee
