Tcl is a scripting language. No compiling. Files are run by an interpreter,
in ns2 the binary 'ns' is used : 'ns file.tcl'

The usual method is to add the new object to a copy of the 'Makefile'.
Example abcd.cpp : Then add abcd.o to "Makefile.new", section "OBJ_CC =".
( Assume a backup for Makefile ( like Makefile.org ) and ns
( Rename ns to e.g. ns233 )).

Next : make clean && make -f Makefile.new .
Like the example, you already know : http://elmurod.net/wps/?p=157

Another example : http://www.lrc.ic.unicamp.br/wimax_ns2/
Please look for "Installation".

Hello Knudfl..
i am Ama and i m very new to this group and ns2 in general. I have a c++ script from crypto++. It runs well. Now, i would want to call this .cpp file in an ns-2 tcl file. I read your reply to a similar question but cant really get it. can u please explain further and in a way that a new person like me can understand. Especially with the Makefile aspect.
Thanks in advance...
