BUG: libpcap 0.9.5, Revision 1 fails to compile

[spam@…]

Hei, i can't build libpcap (and anything that depends on it).

This is what sudo port install libpcap says:

--->  Building libpcap with target all
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_libpcap/work/libpcap-0.9.5" && make all " returned error 2
Command output: gcc -O2 -fno-common -O2 -I. -dynamic -fno-common -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./pcap-bpf.c
./pcap-bpf.c: In function 'pcap_inject_bpf':
./pcap-bpf.c:348: error: 'BIOCSHDRCMPLT' undeclared (first use in this function)
./pcap-bpf.c:348: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
./pcap-bpf.c:348: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [pcap-bpf.o] Error 1

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Information about my system (my first bugreport, sorry if i'm too (less) verbose) I run the latest DeveloperTools on 10.4.10.

In the manpage of bpf there is no explaination about BIOCSHDRCMPLT

libpcap has been updated to 0.9.8. Can you please check whether the problem still occurs?

[ghosthound]

If this is still a problem (w/ libpcap @0.9.8, etc.) please re-open the ticket.

At least for me, even 0.9.8 doesn't build.

Both 10.4 (with Xcode 2.5) and 10.5 (with Xcode 3.1.1) should have BIOCSHDRCMPLT defined in /usr/include/net/bpf.h. To anyone for whom this fails, does this file exist, and if it does, is BIOCSHDRCMPLT defined within it?
