How to resolve the conflict between winpcap & windows kits?

I started my program with including of:

#define TARGET_SIMU
#include <iostream>
#define INT32_ALREADY_DEFINED

#define _CRT_RAND_S
#include <process.h>
#include <search.h>

#include "iptcom.h"        /* Common type definitions for IPT */
#include "iptcom_priv.h" 

#include "iphlpapi.h"
#define	DATASZ 1000

#include "pcap.h"

I've got the following error message. It's obvious that there is conflict between WinPCap (

C:\Program Files (x86)\WpdPack_4_1_2

) & Windows Kits (

c:\program files (x86)\windows kits\8.1

). WinPCap was downloaded from WinPcap · Developer Resources[^]
Anything I can do to resolve such conflict?

You need to find out where the previous definitions are and remove that file from the build. Or add some macro so that only one set gets included.

It is not a problem with WinPcap but with the inclusion order of the Windows header files.

You have not included windows.h and winsock.h. So they are included when needed by other header files. But the before mentioned header files must be included in a specific order.

I did not have your setup here for testing but including these on top should solve the problem:

C++

// Include winsock2.h before windows.h
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <windows.h>
// Include other header files here

Alternatively define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN first:

C++

// Don't include additional header files from windows.h
// These must be then included explicitly
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>
#include <winsock2.h>
// Include other header files here
