The original WinPcap mainly has three parts: wpcap.dll, packet.dll and
npf.sys.

The compiling instructions for the three parts are as belows:


1) npf6x.sys (packetWin7\npf6x\npf6x.sln)
i. Install VS2012 and update 3.

iii. Open the npf6x.sln file in VS2012 and compile.


2) packet.dll (packetWin7\Dll\Project\Packet.sln)
i. Install VS2005 and sp1 (maybe VS2008, VS2010 and VS2012 are OK here
   too, I just remained the original WinPcap VS version).

iii. Open the Packet.sln file in VS2005.

iv. Open the "VC++ Directories" tab in Tools, Options dialog, make sure
    to add the WDK7.1.0 include and lib path to your VS. Mine is like
    this (substitute "D:\WinDDK\" to your own):

Include files:
D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\api
D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\ddk
$(VCInstallDir)include
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\common\include

Library files:
$(VCInstallDir)lib
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib\i386
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\lib
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\common\lib
$(VSInstallDir)
$(VSInstallDir)lib
D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\win7\i386

v. Compile.


3) NPF6xInstall.exe (packetWin7\NPF6xInstall\NPF6xInstall.sln) (The same
   with 2.)
