Question

I am trying to learn Android-NDK, so i am trying to modify existing examples so I am trying to build apk from Android-PCAP but unable to do so, and getting this error message

Is there anyway i can solve this error ?? Any help will be appreciated.

Before this i was getting error mentioned in this question. But then i renamed the files from c to cpp, that solved the problem.

I am using Android Studio 1.2.2 with Android NDK r10e on Linuxmint 17.1. :)

Don't try to compile pcap-snoop.c - and don't rename it to pcap-snoop.cpp and try to compile that, either.

Libpcap is a multi-platform library, supporting a number of different operating systems. The mechanisms provided by individual UN*Xes to capture packets are different for different UN*Xes. *BSD, OS X/iOS, AIX, and Solaris 11 and later have BPF; Linux has SOCK_PACKET and PF_PACKET sockets; other UN*Xes have other mechanisms.

Libpcap provides an API that tries to hide those differences from applications. The "pcap-*.c" files are modules for particular capture mechanisms and, when compiling libpcap to run on a particular OS, only the appropriate "pcap-*.c" file for that OS should be compiled.

Android is Linux-based, and the appropriate "pcap-*.c" file for Linux is, not surprisingly, "pcap-linux.c". "pcap-snoop.c" is the appropriate "pcap-*.c" file for SGI's IRIX; one should never try to compile it unless one is compiling on IRIX or, if that's possible, cross-compiling for IRIX.
