Provide DEB or RPM
@seladb @tigercosmos I have made the deb file. The name of the deb file is pcapplusplus_25.05_amd64.deb I have written a small test:
// file: test.cpp
#include <PcapLiveDeviceList.h>
#include
int main() { auto devList = pcpp::PcapLiveDeviceList::getInstance().getPcapLiveDevicesList(); std::cout << "Found " << devList.size() << " network devices.\n"; }
Compilation:
g++ test.cpp -o test_app
-lPcap++ -lPacket++ -lCommon++ -lpcap
-I/usr/local/include/pcapplusplus -L/usr/local/lib
Ouput:
Thank you @bhaskarbhar for working on it! 🙏
Where is your DEB file hosted? I think we'd like to add it to every release from now on, so we need to add building the DEB/RPM to our CI (probably to package.yml), and make sure they are included in the release.
Please let me know what you think.
@seladb We can also think about how we can put PCPP into the apt source list.

https://github.com/bhaskarbhar/PcapPlusPlus/releases/tag/v25.05-deb
@seladb @tigercosmos I created the .deb using the following steps:
cd PcapPlusPlus
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install DESTDIR=$PWD/install-root
cd install-root
mkdir -p DEBIAN
cat <<EOF > DEBIAN/control
Package: pcapplusplus
Version: 25.05
Section: libs
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Bhaskar Bhar <[email protected]>
Description: PcapPlusPlus - C++ library for packet parsing and crafting
EOF
dpkg-deb --build install-root pcapplusplus_25.05_amd64.deb
For CI, I we can automate this in package.yml using the same steps to build .deb.
@seladb For CI I have written a package.yml, I dont know, this is correct or not. Need your support:
