ns 2.1b2 for Solaris - build fails
We're attempting to build ns 2.1b2 on Solaris 2.4/2.51 boxes here, and
are as yet unsuccessful. Can anyone provide pointers?
We're having major problems with the configure stage. Compiling either
statically or dynamically, release sans debugging options,
ns-2.1b2/configure reports:
checking for main in -ldl... (cached) no
no dynamic load lib
resulting in the make eventually failing at
c++ -static -o ns \[lots of object files named here, including
win32.o of all things..]
[sensible compile options, correct paths to dependencies for tclcl
perl etc, sensible -R -L -l options] -R/usr/openwin/lib
-L/usr/openwin/lib -lXext -lX11 -ldl -lm
ld: fatal: library -ldl: not found
which is puzzling, since -ldl is liberally scattered throughout the
makefile, and the libraries are all in /usr/lib as you'd expect.
There's no conf subdirectory in the 2.1b2 distribution I fetched
(2371603 bytes tarred and gzipped archive, btw, on the offchance
there's been a change of archive meantime), which is rather odd and
adds to the difficulty.
Also noted in passing fyi:
If, as Padma says at end of the release announcement, ns 2.1b2
explicitly requires tclcl 1.0b5, why does the configure file still
look for:
TclCL_VERS=1.0b3
TclCL_ALT_VERS=1.0
?
Flagged warnings seen before the make fails on the dynamic load
problem discussed above:
tcp-session.cc: In method `class IntTcpAgent * TcpSessionAgent::who_to_snd(int)':
tcp-session.cc:308: warning: implicit declaration of function `int
random(...)'
red.cc: In method `void REDQueue::trace(class TracedVar *)':
red.cc:491: warning: assignment to `char *' from `const char *'
discards const
red.cc:492: warning: assignment to `char *' from `const char *'
discards const
red.cc:493: warning: assignment to `char *' from `const char *'
discards const
also noted:
win32.c:269: unterminated string or character constant
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `win32.o'
simple c/c++ confusion - gcc 2.70 simply doesn't like the c++ comment
there; we're not quite sure why configure wants to compile the win32
parts on this Solaris box, or why gcc gets to do it.
Clues, anyone?
thanks,
L.
