You will have zero success trying to compile the libpcap from unix, the two systems are just not the same under the hood. However, once you've installed WinPCap (which includes the actual low-level driver, the DLLs, the headers, and the import libs) all of your regular libpcap-speaking unix apps will typically compile without too much fuss. It provides the same standard libpcap interface.
