For windows, the libpcap API is provided by WinPCap.  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.
