Compiling tcng in ubuntu 8.04


Hi,

I'm trying to compile tcng-10b (linux traffic control next generation) in ubuntu hardy. I'm getting the following errors. By looking at file ksvc.c I've noticed that errors occur whenever struct sk_buff is used. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

ksvc.c:28: warning: ‘struct sock’ declared inside parameter list
ksvc.c:28: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
ksvc.c:46: warning: no previous prototype for ‘printk’
ksvc.c: In function ‘__kfree_skb’:
ksvc.c:70: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
ksvc.c:71: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
ksvc.c: In function ‘alloc_skb’:
ksvc.c:81: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘struct sk_buff’

use Synaptic to install this, unless you really need to compile from source. if the latter is true then you would need to post the code for us to look at, or send it to the developers of the tool if it is actually a bug (well, compilation error, not a bug).

Synaptic is in System->Administration. use the 'Search' button to find 'tcng'. you should be able to install it with GUI-only, no command line stuff.

I've successfully installed tcng from the ubuntu repos using synaptic. However I don't want to use the tcng in the ubuntu repos because it doesn't have tcsim (traffic control simulator).

The problem is not in the tool itself because I've installed it before in Feisty. Now that I've updated to Hardy I can't seem to get it compiled. I'm I missing a package?

The errors happen to be in the followin two functions:

void __kfree_skb(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
if (--skb->users) return;
free(skb->data);
...
}

...

struct sk_buff *alloc_skb(unsigned int size,int priority)
{
...

skb = alloc_t(struct sk_buff);
memset(skb,0,sizeof(*skb));
skb->data = skb->head = skb->tail = skb->end = alloc(size);
if (!skb->data) {
...
}
skb->users = 1;
skb->truesize = size+sizeof(struct sk_buff);
skb->end += size;
SKB_GEN(skb) = generation++;
...
}

can you post the complete ksvc.c file. use the "code" tags to put the source code in.

is it just the above warnings and errors that you showed in post #1? or is there a larger list? did you read and follow the README for tcng exactly? (ie installed required libraries, etc)

Yes, those are all the errors I got. I followed all the steps in the README. I installed all the packages they mentioned there.

Thumbs up Fixed

The problem was the linux kernel (2.5.0) that I was using to compile tcsim. The kernels that compile are 2.4.27 and 2.5.4.

Thanks
