Problem compiling NS 2.27 on Fedora Core 4 (FC4) It was a long history :) I put numbers cause it easy to understand... Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux gcc-c++-4.0.0-8 e gcc-4.0.0-8 NS 2.27 (not all in one) 1) First of all, I was experiencing some problems with libtk (I dont have the message here), so I solve it installing the development kit for X windows. I installed libtk but it isn't solve the problem. I saw a lot of messages about "couldn't find some windows components" I tried intall de X window development kit, and it solve the problem. 2) I installed the TCL/TK, OTCL and TCLCL without problems (finally), but otcl and tclcl I use the "--with-tcl=/path" option 3) I was experiencing the errors below and solve the problem with some tips of http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-users/2004-December/046203.html(below too) ##################################### 3) My errors In file included from ./common/ip.h:41, from sctp/sctp.cc:41: ./config.h:103:1: warning: "STRTOI64_FMTSTR" redefined In file included from /opt/ns-allinone-2.27/tclcl-1.15/tclcl.h:47, from ./config.h:60, from ./common/ip.h:41, from sctp/sctp.cc:41: /opt/ns-allinone-2.27/tclcl-1.15/tclcl-config.h:37:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition sctp/sctp.cc: In destructor 'virtual SctpAgent::~SctpAgent()': sctp/sctp.cc:154: error: invalid lvalue in assignment make: ** [sctp/sctp.o] Erro 1 Ns make failed! See http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html for problems ################################### 3) My search on the web http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-users/2004-December/046203.html Hi, I read several messages on this list mentioning a problem to compile ns (namely a forward declaration error in tclcl-mappings.h). It is actually the first of many problems encountered while compiling with gcc 3.4.2 (shipped with FC3). Here is the changes to make in ns. Note that I don't know if they are backward compatible with previous versions of gcc. * ns-allinone-2.27/tclcl-1.15/tclcl-mappings.h Move #include "tclcl-mappings.h" from l.48 to l.258 The following files are all relative to ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/ * sctp/sctp.cc l.154: spCurrNode->vpData = NULL; * webtraff/webtraff.cc Block starting l.411: else if (strcmp(argv[1], "set-num-server") == 0) { nServer_ = atoi(argv[2]); if (server_ != NULL) free(server_); server_ = (WebServer*)malloc(nServer_ * sizeof(WebServer)); for (int i = 0; i < nServer_; i++) { server_[i] = WebServer(this); } return (TCL_OK); } * linkstate/ls.h l.88: void eraseAll() { baseList::erase(baseList::begin(), baseList::end()); } l.112: void eraseAll() { baseMap::erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); } * diffusion3/lib/nr/nr.hh add 'template <>' before l.224 and l.239 * in mobile/ gridkeeper.h, gridkeeper.cc in diffusion/ diff_rate.cc diffusion.h routing_table.cc rename the macro max to MAX (otherwise there is some sort of conflict with std::max). Same with min to MIN. Hope that helps. I'll try to write a proper patch to fix everything in the near future.

I found one tip at http://www.winlab.rutgers.edu/~zhibinwu/html/network_simulator_2.html#Fix_Bugs_in_ns-2.27, but it doesn't work to me. So, instead of set -DCPP_NAMESPACE=std I edit the autoconf.h and change at line 85 the word CPP_NAMESPACE by std (just it, if it can't read the variable I put its real value there). 5) I compilled Nam and xgraph without errors. Thanks, Renata
