* removed DOS pcap driver, and Makefile aspects that configured itMichael Richardson2023-07-261-3/+1

* Rename doc/README.Win32.md to doc/README.windows.md.Guy Harris2023-05-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This gives it a name similar to the other README.{operatingsystem} files. It also reflects that 1) 16-bit Windows is now so old and tired that there's no need to use a name that specifically mentions a non-16-bit version of Windows to indicates that we don't support it and 2) there's now 64-bit Windows, so "Win32" is an out-of-date name.
* Remove prototype header for Digital/Tru64 5.x. [skip ci]Denis Ovsienko2023-03-181-1/+1
| | | | | The first 5.x release was 22 years ago, the vendor stopped supporting this OS 10 years ago.
* Describe more source files in INSTALL.md. [skip ci]Denis Ovsienko2023-02-051-0/+56

* INSTALL.md: Fix some typosFrancois-Xavier Le Bail2023-01-311-2/+2

* autoconf: Add autogen.sh, remove configure and config.h.inFrancois-Xavier Le Bail2023-01-301-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Put autoconf-generated files in the release tarball. Remove the corresponding task from the TODO file. The minimum required version of autoconf is currently 2.69. If version 2.69 or later is already installed and there is no autoconf default, it may be necessary to set the AUTORECONF environment variable to enable the one to use, like: AUTORECONF=autoreconf-2.69 ./autogen.sh or AUTORECONF=autoreconf-2.71 ./autogen.sh
* INSTALL.md: update and expand. [skip ci]Guy Harris2022-03-241-19/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mention CMake builds as well as autotools bulds. Use a bulleted list for build steps with autotools and CMake. Note that both the configure script and CMake support options to configure the build. Note that we support an "uninstall" target as well as an "install" target. Strongly recommend *against* doing the build as root. Update the note about the "cannot determine packet capture interface" message to give the current text and to note that CMake also issues it, and to indicate the options to use with autotools and CMake to set the interface from the command line. Note that CMake doesn't check whether Lex/Flex or YACC is adequate to build libpcap.
* Complete commit 0cc4639.Denis Ovsienko2021-12-261-1/+0
| | | | This fixes the cause of the problem so "make releasetar" works again.
* Improve formatting and structure in INSTALL.md [skip ci]Denis Ovsienko2021-11-301-21/+25
| | | | | | | Add some missing Markdown markup. Add subsection titles. Make Linux the first OS-specific subsection, as that's a more common use case. Move the "other" subsection after the OS-specific subsections for more logical structuring.
* Declutter the documentation a bit. [skip ci]Denis Ovsienko2021-11-291-125/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | The following operating systems are either extinct or not supported or otherwise have been out of contact with libpcap code for many years: UnixWare, SCO UNIX, SINIX, NeXTSTEP, {DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, Tru64 UNIX}, Ultrix, SunOS < 5.3.2, Linux < 2.6.27 and older AIX. Remove respective prose from the installation documentation, as well as the passage about counterfeit tcpdump 3.0.3, which is a common wisdom nowadays. Update the remaining HP-UX section for C99.
* Refine INSTALL.md a bit. [skip ci]Denis Ovsienko2021-11-171-39/+36
| | | | | Add plenty of Markdown markup, address a couple punctuation and grammar issues; in the introduction tell C99, not ANSI C (C89/C90).
* Remove the non-existent 'net' symlink from INSTALL.mdFrancois-Xavier Le Bail2021-11-141-1/+0

* Update INSTALL.md for pcap-filter.manmisc.in, pcap-linktype.manmisc.inFrancois-Xavier Le Bail2021-11-141-2/+2
| | | | This is a follow-up to 285c3a9fb020dedf5311c6ca0b814ed1a6088bd7.
* Remove pcap-nit.h and pcap-pf.h from INSTALL.mdFrancois-Xavier Le Bail2021-11-141-2/+0
| | | | This is a follow-up to f2054ca165f678a5f27f78f11a60a52b51458c67.
* Update INSTALL.md for filtertest.c and findalldevstest.cFrancois-Xavier Le Bail2021-11-141-2/+2

* Remove pcap-stdinc.h from INSTALL.mdFrancois-Xavier Le Bail2021-11-141-1/+0
| | | | This is a follow-up to 787f37eeffdc3c37beeca8357d667ef35880c62b.
* doc: Add README.solaris.md. [skip ci]Denis Ovsienko2021-08-151-0/+1
| | | | Document more exemptions for Solaris 11.
* Rename a file back after commit 82001f3. [skip ci]Denis Ovsienko2021-02-051-1/+1
| | | | | | README.linux is a plain text file, rendering it as Markdown produces unreadable results. When and if someone converts it to a proper Markdown, it will be appropriate to rename the file again.
* Mention DLT_LINUX_SLL2 in INSTALL.md [skip ci]Petr Vorel2020-11-021-1/+1

* Use two-space indents for URLs separated from the surrounding text.Guy Harris2019-10-281-2/+2
| | | | | | The two spaces separate it from the text if you read the file as plain text, and it doesn't cause the URL to be displayed as raw non-link fixed-width text when it's formatte as Markdown.
* Indent isolated URLs with spaces, not tabs.Guy Harris2019-10-281-2/+2
| | | | | Markdown will show them as fixed-width un-clickable text if indented with tabs, but will show them as indented links if indented with spaces.
* Clean up some references to WinPcap.Guy Harris2019-04-191-2/+2
| | | | | | We're currently unlikely to be used with WinPcap, although you could build libpcap on Windows with the WinPcap SDK and install and use it; we are, however, built with Npcap as part of the Npcap binary.
