Runtime error - Emulator Failure: Configuration error: Class dec21143...needs libpcap support

[Andrewcee]

Fails as above, compiling and building all working okay? Have repeated this on Raspberry running Debian 12 & windows host. Working perfectly without the dec21143. What am I doing wrong, please, how to fix?

Run on...
Host: Windows 10, Virtualbox, Guest: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Raspberry Pi 5 Debian Bookwork
Windows 10 (pre-built binaries)

?? Is pcap missing from build above, maybe?

Thanks in advance, all help much appreciated.

I have the same issue compiling under MacOS Sonoma with the native libpcap from X-code.

I've just hit this exact problem. Looking through the code it needs HAVE_PCAP defined to build with libpcap support and accept the dec21143 device in the configuration file. I couldn't see anything setting this define automatically if libpcap is detected.

Tried adding this define to the cmake set up and it worked.

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" -DHAVE_PCAP=1

Once built I can run axpbox on Debian 12 and it seems to find the network when run with sudo. Haven't installed VMS yet so can't say if it really works.
