Build your own pcap for python2.6

Step 1: download the relevant source code

Pycap: http://code.google.com/p/pypcap/

Sendpkt: http://code.google.com/p/sendpkt/

Dpkt: http://code.google.com/p/dpkt/

WDP http://www.winpcap.org/install/bin/WpdPack_4_0_2.zip

Mingw: http://www.mingw.org/

 

Step 2: Compile

1. decompress the two files in pycap and WDP to the same directory. Note:
2. Create a setup. cfg file in the decompressed pycap folder with the following content:

[Build]
Compiler = mingw32

3. Start Compilation

C: \ Users \ linuxany \ Desktop \ pypcap-1.1>Python setup. py install
4. Install sendpkt in the same way

Step 3: test whether the compilation and installation are successful
