Compilation on Windows

Despite Windows support is not yet 100% complete, it is possible to build bettercap for Microsoft platforms and enjoy 99.99% of the experience. The steps to prepare the building environment are:

• Install go amd64 (add go binaries to your %PATH%).
• Install TDM GCC for amd64 (add TDM-GCC binaries to your %PATH%).
• Also add TDM-GCC\x86_64-w64-mingw32\bin to your %PATH%.
• Install winpcap.
• Download Winpcap developer's pack and extract it to C:\.
• Find wpcap.dll and packet.dll in your PC (typically in c:\windows\system32).
• Copy them to some other temp folder or else you'll have to supply Admin privs to the following commands.
• Run gendef on those files: gendef wpcap.dll and gendef packet.dll (obtainable with MinGW Installation Manager, package mingw32-gendef).

This will generate .def files, now we'll generate the static libraries files:

• Run dlltool --as-flags=--64 -m i386:x86-64 -k --output-lib libwpcap.a --input-def wpcap.def.
• and dlltool --as-flags=--64 -m i386:x86-64 -k --output-lib libpacket.a --input-def packet.def.
• Copy both libwpcap.a and libpacket.a to c:\WpdPack\Lib\x64.

And eventually just go get github.com/bettercap/bettercap as you would do on other platforms.
