I am trying to compile NISTNET version 12 on REDHAT 9.0 kernel rev 2.4.22

and I get the following error message after I try the make command

. I am not a C programmer and so I do not know what to do next.

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks

The nistnet build problem:

../include/nistnet.h:170: field `igmp’ has incomplete type

can be solved by swapping two lines in <nistnet-dir>/include/nistnet.h
These are lines 161 and 162 - the problem being that the header
/usr/include/linux/igmp.h is no longer included implicitly by including
/usr/include/netinet/igmp.h

Good luck

I had the same error as jocornhill, on Debian 3.0 kernel 2.4.22.
I tried both swapping the two lines in nistnet.h as shrevz suggests and applying the patches found in http://w3.mivlmd.cablespeed.com/~tmolina/ (of course not the two tries at the same time!!!).

In both cases,the problem related to 'igmp' field seems to be solved, but a different error occurs:

Jocorn, did you have the same problem or did you succeed in installing nistnet?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!!!!

i have not been able to try the suggestion made by shrevz, someone trashed my linux box over the bank holiday. I will have to build a new ome
and give it a go.


Thanks

Hello people,
I solved compile problems in nistnet on Fedora Core 1.

I was trying to compile nistnet on fedora core and it occurred:

In file included from ../include/uincludes.h:35,
from nistnetlib.c:12:
../include/nistnet.h:171: error: field `igmp' has incomplete type

I forced nistnet.h to include the <linux/igmp.h>

//#include <linux/igmp.h> (line 161)
#endif
#include <linux/igmp.h>

I tested it and another compile error happened:

In file included from ../include/nistnet.h:163,
from ../include/uincludes.h:35,
from nistnetlib.c:12:
/usr/include/linux/igmp.h:29: error: syntax error before "__u8"
/usr/include/linux/igmp.h:31: error: syntax error before "csum"
/usr/include/linux/igmp.h:32: error: syntax error before "group"
In file included from ../include/uincludes.h:35,
from nistnetlib.c:12:

I just added <linux/types.h> to uincludes.h becase this header has the definitions for these types.
I tested again , coompiled some module and binaries but another error occurred as follow:
hitbox.c:177:17: missing terminating " character
hitbox.c: In function `Usage':
hitbox.c:181: error: `a' undeclared (first use in this function)
hitbox.c:181: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
hitbox.c:181: error: for each function it appears in.)
hitbox.c:181: error: syntax error before "src"
hitbox.c:181: error: stray '\' in program
hitbox.c:181: error: syntax error at '#' token
hitbox.c:183: error: stray '\' in program

hitbox.c:185: error: stray '\' in program
hitbox.c:185: error: stray '\' in program
hitbox.c:191:47: missing terminating " character

I just commented some lines in function Usage() from hitbox.c and could compile nistnet.

void
Usage(void)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: hitbox\n\
-u up (on)\n\
-d down (off)\n\
//#ifdef CONFIG_ECN
-a src dest delay delsigma bandwidth drop dup drdmin drdmax drdcongestion add new\n\
//#else
// -a src dest delay delsigma bandwidth drop dup drdmin drdmax add new\n\
//#endif
-r src dest remove\n\
-s src dest see stats\n\
-S src dest see stats continuously\n\
-R read table\n\
-D debug on\n\
-U debug off\n\
-G global stats\n");
exit(1);
}


After it i loaded the nistnet module using "insmod -f" because Fedora check for version.

On my side, I managed to solve the compiling problems downloading some debian packages (like Xam3d... I can no longer remember thier names!).
As far as I can see, Nist net is not really "ready-to-use", and everybody has to find out his own necessary adjustments... But these are just newbie impressions, I don't want to bore anyone so goodbye everybody!

I ran into all of the problems discussed above - The solution is to build NISTNET on a system built with gcc 2.95 (I used debian woody).

The original poster, building on redhat9, was using a variant of gcc3 which NISTNET was never tested with. I was able eventually (after making a few code changes) to get NISTNET to compile on a similar system, but loading the nistnet kernel module would hang the kernel immediately after initializing the timer.

It may be possible to get NISTNET to build and run on a gcc3 system - I don't know. I wasn't able to do it, though, and having a system on which glibc, the kernel, and NISTNET were all built with the same compiler worked for me.
