current stable rust version
it would be best if we had a scoop package like other tools made in rust!

As a workaround, here is what you can do:

1. clone the repo

2. in the root of the repo, create a file named "rust-toolchain" with such content:
   "
   [toolchain]
   channel = "1.68"
   "
   That will use the toolchain that allows the unaligned data.

3. In the build.rs change the link to the pcap sdk file to (line 19):
   https://npcap.com/dist/npcap-sdk-1.05.zip

Because now it downloads HTTP redirect page now, the link has to be updated.

4. Run "cargo build" and you find the bin in the target/debug/ folder.

Fixed in #273. See also #275.

@cyqsimon I'm still having this issue while doing cargo install bandwhich in Windows 11. I'm using latest Rust version rustc 1.74.0-nightly.

@cyqsimon I'm still having this issue while doing cargo install bandwhich in Windows 11. I'm using latest Rust version rustc 1.74.0-nightly.

cargo install pulls the latest release from crates.io, which hasn't yet been updated.

I'm in the middle of updating the CD pipeline to automate everything, after which a new release will be published. Meanwhile you can try compiling main branch.
