Windows add pcap to project

[zwokaros]

I am having some troubles with adding the pcap lib to my Qt project on windows

I have tried multiple examples I've found here and on other websites but in the end I always have the same message "pcap.h No such file or directory" after trying to include it in my main.cpp file

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <pcap.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();

    return a.exec();
}

This is what I have so far in my main.cpp

#-------------------------------------------------
#
# Project created by QtCreator 2018-05-28T03:27:57
#
#-------------------------------------------------

QT       += core gui

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = hello
TEMPLATE = app


SOURCES += main.cpp\
        mainwindow.cpp

HEADERS  += mainwindow.h\

FORMS    += mainwindow.ui

INCLUDEPATH += C:/WpdPack/Include
LIBS += "-LC:/WpdPack/Lib" -lwpcap -lws2_32

DEFINES += HAVE_REMOTE
DEFINES += WPCAP

And this is my .pro file

I installed WpdPack at the root of C:/

Any idea why it autocompletes pcap.h when I'm including it but still displays an error when I compile/run it?

Also I think it comes from the pcap.h file that has this line (and only this line)

#include <pcap/pcap.h>

Thanks

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What exact error do you have ?

[zwokaros]

@SGaist "pcap.h" no such file or diretory, and it's only for this .h file

[SGaist]

Where is that file located on your system ?

[zwokaros]

@SGaist C:/WpdPack/Include/pcap.h

[SGaist]

Then your include statement is wrong, it should just be #include <pcap.h>

[zwokaros]

@SGaist I still have the same error "pcap No such file or directory"

Okay so I ended up putting the header files directly into my project instead of writing the path in the .pro file
Now it's working
