Install SVN client (e.g. SlikSVN)
Get the pypcap source

C:\Scapy>svn co http://pypcap.googlecode.com/svn/trunk pypcap


Install 'setuptools' or 'distribute'
This will give us "easy_install"
Download and run Python 2.5 version from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools

Install Cython
easy_install cython


pypcap
------


Delete -lmsvcr71 from the command 

$ make install

libdnet
-------

svn checkout http://libdnet.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ libdnet
cd libdnet

In python/setup.py.in:
Remove double entries in dnet_srcs.extend


$ ./configure
This will generate setup.py from setup.py.in

Convert dnet.pyx to UNIX line endings (LF), else cython will fail

cython dnet.pyx  (pyrex does not work)

insert #include <windows.h> in rand.c, fw-pktfilter.c, intf-win32.c, ip-win32.c, eth-win32.c 

In eth-win32.c:
comment out VC6 bogosity


python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32

Remove:
 -lmsvcr90
Better:
  In pcap.c replace strdup with _strdup
