Install libpcap by running the following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../libpcap-1.9.0-enable_bluetooth-1.patch && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
If you want to disable installing the static library, use this sed:
sed -i '/INSTALL_DATA.*libpcap.a\|RANLIB.*libpcap.a/ s/^/#/' Makefile
Now, as the root user:
make install
--enable-bluetooth=no: Necessary, if
the recommended patch is not applied, because since 1.6.1 this
application needs a fix, in order to build with bluez-5.21.
