You can't; it's not supported. Libpcap expects the OS to provide a packet
capture mechanism for it to use, and Windows doesn't provide one.
libpcap-for-Windows is WinPcap; it includes drivers to provide a packet capture
mechanism.
CERT only seems to provide SiLK in source-code form:
http://tools.netsa.cert.org/silk/download.html
They mention Cygwin here:
http://tools.netsa.cert.org/silk/index.html
It presumably uses WinPcap on Cygwin; to build a program that uses WinPcap, you
need the WinPcap developer's pack:
http://www.winpcap.org/devel.htm
in addition to the WinPcap binaries.
