[Sipspy-users] Missing bpf.h

[Tom v. d. G. <tom...@xs...>]

Hi Elias,

I was trying to compile spyAgent on Linux (Debian 4.0). Besides manually 
installing libev and the inclulded libpcap-0.8.1 it also required 
net/bpf.h as per include in commands.c. This file is not installed by 
default on Debian 4.0.
Usually it's sufficient for libpcap to make a symbolic link from 
net/bpf.h -> pcap-bpf.h but in spyAgent it's missing the definition of 
BIOCIMMEDIATE which, for some reason, is not in the pcap-bpf.h.
In this case I copied a bpf.h from another system to the target machine, 
which was sufficient to fix this issue.

This dependency is most likely introduced in the 'recent' switch from 
poll -> libev

Would it be a good idea to either:
- check bpf.h in the confgure phase for the declaration of BIOCIMMEDIATE 
type
- or include a fallback declaration
- or remove the dependency
- is there another (better) option?

It might also be a good idea to include libev in the source, just like 
libpcap.

Best regards,

Tom
