incorporating a c++ module with NS2 tcl file
 

Hi everybody,
I am trying to incorporate a new C++ module with NS2 tcl file and i am getting an error of multiple mains. I have my main c++ file which runs my desired code using my .cpp file and .h files. When I tried to incorporate it with tcl file in makefile.in, i got the multiple main error in monolithic.cc file. If I dont add my main file and the incorporation takes place.But without my main file of c++, the incorporating is useless to me.
Can anyone can guide me how to fix this error. The error is shown in the attachment.
I ll be obliged!

Hi Baig,

If it's a 'module' then you'll probably leverage it as an #include which doesn't need a main. Take a look at some of your other header files, what you are normally using from them are the methods and classes they contain. Think of the new c++ module as an extension of the tcl.cpp, not a separate app that passes data back and forth with the tcl app ( 'cause it doesn't do that). It only gets compiled as part of the tcl.cpp, not as a separate new_module.cpp.

Hope that helps

:)
