Makefile problem while installing EDCA patch of 802.11e

bilalcisco · 02-22-2013, 07:49 AM

Dear Fellows!!
I successfully installed ns2.28 on Fedora 8. Now I am adding the EDCA patch of 802.11e. According to the README of the patch I added the following statement in Makefile.in.
-I./mac/802_11e
but it lands me the following error for the make command on the command prompt.
"Makefile:73: *** commands commence before first target. Stop."
Does anyone have any idea of this problem.

Thanks

Welcome to LQ.

"Makefile:73: *** commands commence before first target. Stop."

Means : You have surplus space at line end. Like :
<TAB>-I./mac/802_11e<space>

... Probably OK, when you remove the space.
( Also : The line must start with a <TAB>, no <space>'s are allowed.)

Other information :
There is a later version of EDCA: EDCA_ns233-v1-0-2-18Dec2012.tar.gz
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7S2...it?usp=sharing
A Makefile.in is included.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I edited the Makefile.in accordingly and dont get that error anymore after running ./configure; make clean; make depend; commands. But now i get the following strange lines when i run make command.

Code:

 from mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.cc:41:
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/backward/backward_warning.h:32:2:
warning: #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or
antiquated header. Please consider using one of the 32 headers found
in section 17.4.1.2 of the C++ standard. Examples include substituting
the <X> header for the <X.h> header for C++ includes, or <iostream>
instead of the deprecated header <iostream.h>. To disable this warning
use -Wno-deprecated.
./mobile/god.h:88: error: extra qualification ‘vector::’ on member ‘operator=’
./mobile/god.h:93: error: extra qualification ‘vector::’ on member ‘operator+=’
./mobile/god.h:98: error: extra qualification ‘vector::’ on member ‘operator==’
./mobile/god.h:101: error: extra qualification ‘vector::’ on member ‘operator!=’
make: *** [mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.o] Error 1

Furthermore, the ns file is disappeared from the ns directory and now entering ns command, it gives me the error: bash ns command not found.
Please let me know if there is an easy solution for this problem.

Since I spent almost over a week on installing ns2.28 and EDCA patch I would like to make it working now. Otherwise I have to install n2.33 and the new EDCA patch that I came to know only after you suggested in your previous post.

# yum install compat-gcc-34-c++

cd ns-allinone-2.28/ && export CXX=g++34 && ./install
.. Or :
cd ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28/ && export CXX=g++34 && ./configure && make

.. Or edit the Makefile, line 37 to : CPP = g++34

First command worked straight away and I didn't try others.
Thank you for your help.
