packet.dll header files for pb

[Nathan Evans]

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has converted the 4 key header files for packet.dll
to powerbasic.. These are DEVIOCTL.H, NTDDPACK.H, PACKET32.H and NTDDNDIS.H.

If anyone has wrote an app to parse them and output pb code, that may be of help also!

All the best!

What is packet.dll and what does it do? Sounds kinky

I'm glad you ask..

Packet.dll is the brains behind the PCap Library (see: http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/)



Thanks!

Kev,

I gave your util' a go.. It works with some header files i have, but the particular ones
i'm hoping to convert in seconds :P it doesn't like. It comments out many lines.. i'm assuming because,
like me, it doesn't understand them

I think i'm going to have do convert them manually

Thanks!!

Ah, WINPCAP!!
Yes, if anyone gets any PB code working with that, I'd be extremely interested.

Nathan,

Sorry to hear it doesn't work on particular files!

But, as Hdr2Inc progresses, it will be able to convert nearly all C '.H' files

If you want to convert C 'structs' to UDTs, or functions to PB, then just look at the 32BIT.TXT that is included, for reference (it contains PB equivalents of C datatypes).

Kev, Hdr2Inc looks very promising! I hope you get the time to build on it some more, its a true gem

I know this is off-topic as its C++, but I just pulled packet.dll/winpcap out again and I just compiled testapp.c (that came with an old winpcap download, im sure other people have it), it compiles fine in MS VC++ (it comes with a .dsw and .dsp file as well as the .c file), but as its ANSI C id like to compile it in LCC-Win32. Im one error away from compiling it, can anybody point me in the right direction for a possible fix?
Here's what I get when I compile:

C:\lccproj\winpcap>make
   c:\lcc\bin\lcc.exe -c -Ic:\lcc\include  -O  c:\lccproj\winpcap\winpcap.c
cpp: c:\lcc\include\devioctl.h:86 c:\lcc\include\ntddpack.h:4 c:\lcc\include\pac
ket32.h:25 c:\lccproj\winpcap\winpcap.c:27 Macro redefinition of FILE_READ_ACCES
S
cpp: c:\lcc\include\devioctl.h:87 c:\lcc\include\ntddpack.h:4 c:\lcc\include\pac
ket32.h:25 c:\lccproj\winpcap\winpcap.c:27 Macro redefinition of FILE_WRITE_ACCE
SS
Error c:\lccproj\winpcap\winpcap.c: c:\lcc\include\ntddndis.h: 1401  illegal cha
racter `\032'
Warning winpcap.c: 86  assignment of pointer to char to pointer to unsigned shor
t
Warning winpcap.c: 103  missing prototype for wprintf
1 errors, 2 warnings
make: Error code 1

I dont know why its complaining about ntddndis.h, it doesnt contain the string "\032" and i dont think it even needs to be included with the compile..?
Here's my makefile:

CFLAGS=-Ic:\lcc\include  -O 
CC=c:\lcc\bin\lcc.exe
LINKER=c:\lcc\bin\lcclnk.exe
OBJS=\
	winpcap.obj

LIBS=c:\lcc\lib\packet.lib

c:\lccproj\winpcap\winpcap.exe:	$(OBJS) Makefile
	$(LINKER)  -s -subsystem console -o c:\lccproj\winpcap\winpcap.exe $(OBJS) $(LIBS)

# Build WINPCAP.C
WINPCAP_C=\

winpcap.obj: $(CRC32_C) c:\lccproj\winpcap\winpcap.c
	$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) c:\lccproj\winpcap\winpcap.c

link:
	$(LINKER)  -s -subsystem console -o c:\lccproj\winpcap\winpcap.exe $(OBJS) $(LIBS)

Any help is very much appreciated

Wayne,

I'm not sure if you're wanting to edit the samples in C code itself,but i
downloaded a fresh copy of Pcaplib today, and all the sample projects are precompiled.

They worked first time on my machine - and now i'm just pondering whether i should spend a day or two
getting these Header files converted or keep prowling around on the net in some vain hope of finding them
in any language other than C!

The '\032' is C's quaint octal way of saying CHR$(26), or Ctrl-Z, the old CP/M
end-of-file marker. My guess is, the .H file has acquired an unexpected EOF from
your editor. If you pull it into Notepad, this character should show up as a
graphic block, and you can readily delete it.

Tom, bingo! I did a search for CHR26/&H1A, and sure enough at the end of the file was this byte sequence: 0D 0A 1A 0D 0A
So I stripped it out, saved it, recompiled, and wallah, that error was gone!
... and replaced by another!:

winpcap.obj .text: undefined reference to '_PacketGetAdapterNames'
winpcap.obj .text: undefined reference to '_PacketOpenAdapter'
winpcap.obj .text: undefined reference to '_PacketSetHwFilter'
...

i dont see how it can be undefined when im pointing the linker directly at packet.lib and packet32.h is #included in the source...
