Nothing to be done for `all'. :
Is the fishing line when you run make the second time, or multiple times.
Also indicates that you have a successful build.
* Which you will know, when you are using the executable 'ns-edca'
with a tcl file that has e.g. : set opt(mac) Mac/802_11e

"" Which you will know, when you are using the executable 'ns-edca'

I don't understand !!!
please explain to me!

# 17 .

Did you actually create a new ns ?

Testing the new "ns" : $ cp ns ns-edca
* That's to be sure that you are using the right 'ns' for the simulations.
$ sudo cp ns-edca /usr/local/bin/
.. then you can hopefully find / create a file.tcl, that can use Mac802_11e ,
.. and run with $ ns-edca file-name.tcl

Note : Please be aware that the EDCA code was made for ns-2.28,
and may not work properly with ns-2.34 .

Thx so much for yr help;
Really Idon't understand what's the problem !
whan I run the commands: ./configure, make clean, make depend and make; I got again error

and the make file returned as not changing: CPP = g++
I'll try to change my system, and I'll use Mandriva maybe it work !!

# 19 .
That's "as wrong as possible". Must be :
$ export CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++34 && ./configure && make clean && make


? What prevents you from editing the Makefile to : CPP = g++34

The preferred way should of course be a new build in a new folder.
( See post #12 ).
$ tar xvf ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz
$ cd ns-allinone-2.34/
$ ln -s ns-2.34/ ns-2.33
$ patch -p0 < edca-ns233.patch
$ export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install
$ cd ns-2.34/
$ cp ns ns-edca
$ sudo cp ns-edca /usr/local/bin/


? Why do you think that Mandriva can be used ?

I tried, and I Failed again !!

# 21 .

Please show what you did.

The error makes no sense, unless you show the build commands.

$ cd ns-allinone-2.34/
$ ln -s ns-2.34/ ns-2.33
$ patch -p0 < edca-ns233.patch

patching file ns-2.33/common/packet.h
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]


Now what shall I do !!

the edca-ns233.patch is in the directory: ns-allinone-2.34/

# 23 .
That tells that you didn't start from scratch in a new directory.
Please do as shown in post #20.

Note : You can have as an infinite number of ns-allinone-2.34
at the same time. Just keep trying until you do right.

Hi knudfl,
After patching up ns with EDCA, should there be ns-edca? I can't find any in the ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33 folder. However, I put the ns path in the ~/.bashrc file. Upon typing 'ns' in Terminal, the % appears which means that ns is successfully installed. However, how can I make sure that I'm using the right ns, which is the ns edca?

Thank you.

# 25 .
The file "ns-edca" is written by you with the command $ cp ns ns-edca

can anyone send the mac80211e.tgz file?
I didnt found the patch file to simulae EDCA 802.11e

← Post #27, @rana_abdallah.

See post #12 : edca-ns233.patch .
... And please read all posts in this thread.

All EDCA at LQ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/tags/edca/

Thank you knudful for ur reply
I tried to install it from the site written in post #12 but when i tried to open it, it gives me: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action". what should be the program?
This patch is suitable for ns-allinone2.30 in cygwin windows?

← Ref. post #29.

"open it" : If you mean ``edca-ns233.patch´´ : A file.patch is a text file.

The file edca-ns233.patch contains the mac/802_11e/files* from
EDCA_ns-2_28-v1-0-2.tgz http://sourceforge.net/projects/ieee80211e-ns2/
Ref. http://www2.tkn.tu-berlin.de/research/802.11e_ns2/
"edca-ns233.patch" also includes the changes required for ns-2.33, ns-2.34.


Cygwin : ? May be you will have to install a genuine 32bits Linux OS,
(In VirtualBox or to a spare hard disk) if you want to add EDCA.
Not much help you can get with Cygwin / ns2.

? ns-2.30 ? May be easy to edit the few files,
{packet.h wireless-phy.cc wireless-phy.h ns-default.tcl ns-lib.tcl ns-mac.tcl Makefile.in}
EDIT : See post #31.
