compilation errors in pcap.h

[gurumoorthi K <gurumoorthi () vit ac in>]

Hello,

I noticed the following problem: I can't compile files
including pcap.h in Linux. The problem seems to
be the u_ types that are no longer being defined.IMHO
pcap.h should make sure it brings in any non standard
types it needs itself. Until such a
time/version: Any hints how I may use pcap.h and still
work in a more or less platform independent way?

 Thanks

I liked to get a detailed reply.

program ->  pcc.c

#include <pcap.h>

int main()
{
return 0;
}

command shell:-
  
            #cc pcc.c
