Well, its on my wishful todo list - as I'm trying to use dnet.lib in
the Nmap project I'm working on and since rest of the libraries are
VC++ projects, I thought it would be a good idea to have libdnet also
as one! Though, I will keep it in the investigative stage until I come
across some real pointers on how to go about for this.

I will do a clean reinstall and get back to you on this.

Well, that was the first thing I tried and I would be only too glad if
this worked out fine. At present I am getting linker errors with the
dnet.lib such as:
nmap error LNK2005: __errno already defined in LIBCMT.lib(dosmap.obj)
      Found __imp__sprintf
        Referenced in dnet.lib(addr.obj)
        Referenced in dnet.lib(addr-util.obj)
        Loaded MSVCRT.lib(MSVCR71.dll)

dnet.lib(intf-win32.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
_GetIfEntry@4 referenced in function _intf_get

dnet.lib(intf-win32.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
_GetBestInterface@8 referenced in function _intf_get_dst

There are several errors of the first type- and I'm not sure what is
the linked setting which is causing this.

Thanks, indeed for the help!
