This patch is no good; one change in the source file and it is going to break. You need an actual patch, not an ex command.

Hi,

Yes you're right. But I think the same problem remains with a patch: If something change in Makefile.in, the patch would not work anymore.

Anyway, here is a revised version.
   tcpdump.patch (1.9 KiB)
