With the same developer library on both machines - with the desktop I get:
C:\Perl\Everything.PERL\Packages\Net-Pcap-0.16>perl Makefile.PL INC=-I
+C:\Perl\Everything.PERL\Packages\Net-Pcap-0
.16\WpdPack\Include "LIBS=-LC:\Perl\Everything.PERL\Packages\Net-Pcap-
+0.16\WpdPack\Lib -lwpcap"
socket.h patched... ok
looking for -lwpcap... yes
checking for pcap_lib_version() in -lwpcap... yes
detecting available functions... ok
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Net::Pcap
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
For the perl Makefile.pl command...
But the laptop cannot find the same libraries...
