Makefile: file not recognized:File format not recognized collect2: ld returned 1 exit

Hello folks, I was installing DYMOUM from http://masimum.dif.um.es/?Software

YMOUM in ns-2.34. "make" command is issuing this error:

Code:

...
...
common/main-monolithic.o dymoum/libdymoum.a Makefile -L/ns-allinone-2.34/tclcl-1.19 -ltclcl -L/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl -lotcl -L/ns-allinone-2.34/lib -ltk8.4 -L/ns-allinone-2.34/lib -ltcl8.4 -lXext -lX11 -lnsl -ldl -lm -lm -Ldymoum -ldymoum
Makefile: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ns] Error 1

Prior to this, ns-2.34 was working fine. Patches are applied very well.
I am in under fedora 9 and:

Code:

gcc (GCC) 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8)

I am unable to figure out what is this an issue of.

I guess I have to extract (or do something like that with) the file "libdymoum.a" before giving "make" command. What are your opinions guys ?

I have now installed the same dymoum in ns-2.29 under the same system. Do someone has any ideas what goes wrong when I try to install dymoum in ns-2.34 ?

Hi,

I installed ns-2.34 and DYMOUM on Ubuntu 10.04 and I also had a same problem.

In short, L409 of ns-2.34/Makefile is wrong, I guess.

Quote:

# DYMO_UM
$(NS): $(DYMO_UM_DIR)/$(DYMO_UM_LIB) $(OBJ) common/tclAppInit.o Makefile
$(LINK) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDOUT)$@ \
common/tclAppInit.o $(OBJ) $(LIB)

Delete the statement "Makefile" as follows,

Quote:

# DYMO_UM
$(NS): $(DYMO_UM_DIR)/$(DYMO_UM_LIB) $(OBJ) common/tclAppInit.o
$(LINK) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDOUT)$@ \
common/tclAppInit.o $(OBJ) $(LIB)

then, run "make clean" and "make". This had DYMOUM work in my environment.

Makefile is re-writed when you configure. So, it's better to modify Makefile.in or pach file.

Thanks ochikage.

do u guys applying a patch that they provide? my ns does not work when i try to install DYMO and i have to delete folder path everything, and install ns2.34 again from scratch because of the DYMO problem....

if u guys have any manual, appreciate it...

Did you try './configure' before running make?
If the Makefile is not there or not created then try 'automake' after deleting the orignal Makefile.

@ yat81, post # 6 : Welcome to LQ.

YMOUM:Patches
The patch is dymoum ported to ns-2.34.

Example : Starting from scratch with a "clean" ns-allinone-2.34/ :
mv dymoum_ns-2.34_v0.3.patch ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/
cd ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/
patch -p1 dymoum_ns-2.34_v0.3.patch
tar xvf dynoum-0.3.tar.gz
ln -s dynoum-0.3/ dynoum
cd .. && ./install
.. is supposed to work.

EDIT : Compiles OK in ns-2.33, but not ns-2.34.
Stops with: File format not recognized (libdymoum.a ?).
..

well i follow the instruction from the website, but when i apply the patch, some of the patch said 'hunk failed'...but i proceed with ./configure, make distclean, ./configure and make, and it has some error (it even doesn't recognised the ns command), i try it two times, but will try it later and post the error message...

shouldn't it be patch -p1 < dymoum_ns-2.34_v0.3.patch ?
