Hello!

I'd like to simulate some authentication protocols with ns2, but the problem is i need openssl headers. For example, i need function RAND_bytes (which needs openssl/rand.h), i inserted appropriate #include, but make yields 'undefined reference to RAND_bytes' error! I tried to configure ns2 with --with-openssl=yes switch, but it doens't work either. How can i include outside libraries into ns2? (Or is maybe the cause for errors somewhere else?)

I figured it out!

I had to add -L/usr/include/openssl -lssl to the LIB variable in Makefile (ns2 was compiled with --with-openssl switch).

That's it! Thanks anyway.

hello

I would like to know how to add the path -L/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl -lssl path in the Makefile

I would like to know the required changes to be made in the configure file.

This is required to compile openssl libaries with ns

Are you sure your libraries are in /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl ? Please try these:

Hi all,

please can some one tell me how can I add openssl to ns2 ? it is urgent. Thank you in advance

1. Forget 'urgent', it is not urgent for us.
2. Please explicitly state what have you done so far, what documentations you read, what commands you tried, what problems you encountered.

PS: Also specify exactly what software are you talking about (download URL of source).

I installed openssl 1.0.1e in ubuntu 13.10, I want to secure a routing protocol with ns2.35 I need to apply a hash function and encryption function which are existing in openssl. I want so to compile ns2 with openssl. can you tell me please how can I resolve this problem (recompile ns2 with openssl). Thank you in advance

As a start, could you compile ns-2.35 without openssl? If no, what was the problem?

PS: Also specify exactly what software are you talking about (download URL of source).

PS2: Of course, you will need package 'libssl-dev' too.

Yes sir I compile ns2 without openssl but now I want to recompile with openssl.
The URL of openssl which I install in ubuntu is: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1e.tar.gz. I hope that you understand me well

Dear Sir, the current openssl is 1.0.1k, but I asked about the source of ns-2.35, not the source of openssl.

The URL of ns-2.35 which I installed is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsna...ar.gz/download

The 2011 ns-allinone-2.35 : See post #11.

Dear knudfl,
thank you for your response but I have not a problem with the installation of ns2. I installed it suuccefully but my problem is how can I recompile ns2 with openSSL (which is installed in ubuntu) to apply some function in library of openSSL.

@ NevemTeve, please sir if you have an anser for my question post it. I need your help thank you

← Post #13 ←

I guess you have a solution in post #2.

Prerequisites : $ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev


Recompile : Please don't.
Much smarter to start from scratch, in /home/<name>/new-folder/,
with a new unpacked ns-allinone-2.35_gcc482.tar.gz .
.. Then edit the configure line for ns-2.35 in the script install : EDIT
Line 586. EDIT : See post #17.
Next : run ./install


Note : 1) ns-allinone-2.35_gcc482.tar.gz is for gcc -4.8.2 and 4.9.x
.. so you can run plain ./install
2) ns-allinone-2.35_gcc491.tar.gz :
Is also including the official ns2 patches for Codel etc.
