To build tcpdump under Windows, you need:

- version 6 (or higher) of Microsoft Visual Studio or the Cygnus gnu
C compiler.
- The November 2001 (or later) edition of Microsoft Platform
Software Development Kit (SDK), that contains some necessary includes
for IPv6 support. You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/sdk
- the WinPcap source code, that includes libpcap for win32. Download it
from http://winpcap.polito.it or download libpcap sources from
https://www.tcpdump.org and follow the instructions in the README.Win32
file.

First, extract tcpdump and WinPcap in the same folder, and build WinPcap.

The Visual Studio project and the cygwin makefile are in the Win32\prj
folder.

From Visual Studio, open windump.dsw and build the program. The release
version of the WinDump.exe executable file will be created in the
windump\win32\prj\release directory . The debug version will be generated
in windump\win32\prj\debug.

From cygnus, go to windump\win32\prj\ and type "make". WinDump.exe will be
created in the same directory.
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or later
- the WinPcap or Npcap SDK, which includes libpcap for win32. The
WinPcap SDK can be doneloaded from

https://www.winpcap.org/devel.htm

and the Npcap SDK can be downloaded from

http://www.npcap.org
- CMake, which can be downloadd from

https://cmake.org

First, make a build directory, either as a subdirectory of the tcpdump
source directory or as a separate directory.

Second, change to the build directory, and run CMake with the following
arguments:

-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH={pathname of the WinPcap/Npcap SDK}

-G {generator}

the pathname of the tcpdump source directory relative to the build
directory (".." if the build directory is a subdirectory of the
tcpdump source directory).

"{generator}" would be the string "Visual Studio N YYYY", where "N" is
the version of Visual Studio and "YYYY" is the year number for that
version; if you are building a 64-bit version of tcpdump, YYYY must be
followed by a space and "Win64". For example, to build a 32-bit version
of tcpdump with Visual Studio 2015, "{generator}" would be "Visual
Studio 14 2015" and to build a 64-bit version of tcpdump with Visual
Studio 2017, "{generator}" would be "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64".

Third, from the build directory, run the command

msbuild /m /nologo /p:Configuration={configuration} tcpdump.sln

where {configuration} can be "Release", "Debug", or "RelWithDebInfo", or
build tcpdump from the Visual Studio application using the solution file
in question.

(XXX - rules for building with MinGW should be added.)
