Ahh ok. Do you understand the difference now? If not I can type up
an explanation of how it all works.
Are .so and .a libraries interchangeable for the linker, i.e. would this
have worked too:
NETWORK_OPT = -DUSE_NETWORK -isystem /usr/local/include
/usr/lib/libpcap.so
This is compiler-dependent, but it generally should work. The
"proper" way to link against a library, though, is to use
"-l<libname>"
on the link command.
