Asked by regulararmy

Good afternoon:

         when I build the library of version>= 1.5.0 for Microsoft Windows with Cygwin, run
  "$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-rohc-tests", errors information occured which is "libpcap library/headers not found ",
  however,in the "http://rohc-lib.org/wiki/doku.php?id=library-install-sources#native_build_on_unix-like_systems",
  it says" You can enable tests with --enable-rohc-tests if you have the WinPcap library installed on your system. " yes,I installed the WinPcap library on my system.
        how can I build the library in Microsoft Windows with Cygwin? Thank you.

Sorry, I made a mistake while writing this part of the installation manual. Support for Cygwin is only for future versions >= 1.6.0 of the library. Version 1.6.0 is not released yet: in the meanwhile please use the main dev branch on Bazaar.

I added a note in the installation manual to avoid confusing users:

Yes, it won't be possible with the future 1.5.2 release too. Only versions 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.7.0... will be able to do so.

When they are ready :-)

If you look at the 1.6.0 page [1], you'll see that there is only 2 open bugs remaining, so the version 1.6.0 will be released quite soon. Maybe next week if I got access to OpenBSD and NetBSD platforms during the week.
