   1 # Compiling and using libpcap on Haiku
   2
   3 Haiku R1/beta4 and earlier versions do not support packet capture on the
   4 loopback interface.  Using this version of libpcap, loopback capture works
   5 since Haiku R1/beta5.  Packet timestamping and filtering always occur
   6 in userland.  Wireless monitor mode is not supported.  The "any"
   7 pseudo-interface is not supported.
   8 [**pcap_set_buffer_size**](https://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/pcap_set_buffer_size.3pcap.html)(3PCAP)
   9 has no effect.
  10 [**pcap_setdirection**](https://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/pcap_setdirection.3pcap.html)(3PCAP)
  11 is not supported.
  12 [**pcap_inject**](https://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/pcap_inject.3pcap.html)(3PCAP)
  13 is not supported.

  15 The statistics reported by
  16 [**pcap_stats**](https://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/pcap_stats.3pcap.html)(3PCAP)
  17 on Haiku are as follows:
  18 * `ps_recv` is the number of packets successfully delivered by the kernel,
  19   before libpcap applies a filter.
  20 * `ps_drop` is the number of packets rejected by the filter.
  21 * `ps_ifdrop` is the number of packets dropped by the network interface (as
  22   seen via `SIOCGIFSTATS`) since the capture handle became active.

  24 ## AMD64 R1/beta5
  25
  26 * Autoconf 2.72 works.
  27 * CMake 3.28.3 works.
  28 * GCC 13.3.0 works.
  29 * Clang 18.1.7 works.
  30 * flex 2.6.4 works.
  31 * bison 3.8.2 works.

  33 The following command will install respective non-default packages:
  34 ```
  35 pkgman install cmake llvm18_clang
  36 ```

  38 For reference, the tests were done using a system installed from
  39 `haiku-r1beta5-x86_64-anyboot.iso`.
