[tcpdump-workers] tcpdump build doc for Windows

2021-01-03 Thread Denis Ovsienko via tcpdump-workers

Hello list.

tcpdump source tree has a short file named "Readme.Win32", which was
mostly updated on 8 Aug 2019, and a longer file named
"doc/README.Win32.md", which was mostly updated on 5 Feb 2020. These
seem to provide somewhat different instructions, perhaps it would be a
good time to review that.

They're both reasonably up-to-date (they both mention Npcap and the use of 
CMake), but the latter is more detailed.

I'll check whether the first document says anything that's not mentioned in the 
second, and try to merge that into the second one.  Then we can probably get 
rid of the first one.

The top level README.md should probably point to doc/README.Win32.md (or 
README.Windows.md, given that 1) Windows can also be 64-bit and 2) 16-bit 
Windows is pretty much dead, so people are unlikely to get confused and say 
"OK, how do I build this 16-bit?", the answer to which is "we don't even 
support that on UN*X...".--- End Message ---

Thank you.

I never thought about it, now that you pointed it out the bit width
indeed looks out of place.
