The current version of libpcap's pcap-int.h doesn't look like:

it looks like:

typedef int     (*activate_op_t)(pcap_t *);
typedef int     (*can_set_rfmon_op_t)(pcap_t *);
typedef int     (*read_op_t)(pcap_t *, int cnt, pcap_handler, u_char *);
typedef int     (*inject_op_t)(pcap_t *, const void *, size_t);
typedef int     (*setfilter_op_t)(pcap_t *, struct bpf_program *);
typedef int     (*setdirection_op_t)(pcap_t *, pcap_direction_t);
typedef int     (*set_datalink_op_t)(pcap_t *, int);
typedef int     (*getnonblock_op_t)(pcap_t *, char *);
typedef int     (*setnonblock_op_t)(pcap_t *, int, char *);
typedef int     (*stats_op_t)(pcap_t *, struct pcap_stat *);
#ifdef _WIN32
typedef struct pcap_stat *(*stats_ex_op_t)(pcap_t *, int *);
typedef int     (*setbuff_op_t)(pcap_t *, int);
typedef int     (*setmode_op_t)(pcap_t *, int);
typedef int     (*setmintocopy_op_t)(pcap_t *, int);
typedef HANDLE  (*getevent_op_t)(pcap_t *);
typedef int     (*oid_get_request_op_t)(pcap_t *, bpf_u_int32, void *, size_t);
typedef int     (*oid_set_request_op_t)(pcap_t *, bpf_u_int32, const void *, size_t);
typedef u_int   (*sendqueue_transmit_op_t)(pcap_t *, pcap_send_queue *, int);
typedef int     (*setuserbuffer_op_t)(pcap_t *, int);
typedef int     (*live_dump_op_t)(pcap_t *, char *, int, int);
typedef int     (*live_dump_ended_op_t)(pcap_t *, int);
typedef PAirpcapHandle  (*get_airpcap_handle_op_t)(pcap_t *);
#endif
typedef void    (*cleanup_op_t)(pcap_t *);

which, among other things, doesn't use "Adapter" at all.

And, speaking of Win32\Prj, that's now deprecated - get CMake:

        https://cmake.org

and use that.  autotools are also supported (and are the main build mechanisms supported) on UN*X, but the old Windows 
projects aren't being kept up-to-date.

You should use the *current* version of libpcap, not whatever older version you're using (the one that comes with 
WinPcap?).
