Re: [Fwknop-discuss] how to build on Windows?

[Damien S. <ds...@ds...>]

Kevin,

After reading your message again, I realized I didn't give you a complete answer before…

You can build the fwknop client under cygwin.  libpcap is only required by the fwknop server.  If you want to build the client only, you need to tell configure not to try to build the server by passing "--disable-server" to the configure script.  With that option, configure will not try to build the server and will not look for libpcap.  For more information on available options to configure, run: "./configure --help"

Regards,

-Damien
