I am a newbie to Wireshark development. My aim is to have a protocol
dissector.
I have Windows XP along with cygwin installed on my m/c.
I have downloaded source from
http://www.wireshark.org/download/src/wireshark-0.99.5.tar.gz
I read the "INSTALL" file and tried to do a "./configure" in wireshark folder
through cygwin.
Then, I got this error and stops.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxstartxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
checking whether to use libpcap for packet capture... yes
checking for extraneous pcap header directories... not found
checking pcap.h usability... no
checking pcap.h presence... no
checking for pcap.h... no
configure: error: Header file pcap.h not found; if you installed libpcap
from source, did you also do "make install-incl", and if you installed a
binary package of libpcap, is there also a developer's package of libpcap,
and did you also install that package?

I downloaded "libpcap" source from www.tcpdump.org and put inside wireshark
directory.
I tried to compile this libcap separately and got an error

checking for u_int16_t using gcc... yes
checking for u_int32_t using gcc... yes

How to move forward in the building process.???
