Re: tcpdump configure error with pcap_loop... no

Hello Guy.

You are absolutely right, I have compiled tcpdump with new libpcap library

I have used this trick with correct "source-tree" in different application,
like dnsmasq and anything else and I have not paId attention on it, because
the same hint with using "out-of-source-tree" was successfully applied to
old stable version of the libpcap library and for compilation of tcpdump
application.

I'm not sure if this issue is a bug, but I think will be better to change
your Makefile for change process of compilation more convenient for all
users (for me it's great, than I have compilation of the source code in the
independent directory tree and have binaries output in the another
independent directory).

Anyway, thank you for your help and Merry Christmas.

With Best Regards, Evgheni.
