Hi,

I am trying to install MCC (Multicast Control Client) source code in linux ubuntu system and I got errors while compiling by ./compile.

Could anybody please tell me how to rectify the errors or any solution to the problem. Please help as I am desperate for the solution.

The error is :

testclient is not available in the code.How to rectify that.

Mmm are you sure that's the correct way of doing that process? When compiling programs the first step is to read documentation: at least README or INSTALL files that usually come along the project. There it's told how you should compile the code. The usual way is ./configure, which does the pre-compilation configuration, and if it succeeds (note: any errors should be taken seriously and fixed, and after configure is re-run successfully, continue -- and only then), 'make' which actually compiles the code and then as root 'make install' which installs the compiled files (copies them in their places in the system). That's the basic way, but then again many projects provide a single file that's run to do the whole process (like install.sh for example). Your way may be perfectly appropriate, but please do make it certain.

Most of the time I compile programs and face errors that sound like those in your post it's because the configure part didn't go trough successfully, or because I need to pass extra parameters to configure to guide it do the configuration process (and then guide the compilation process) correctly. I'm pretty sure the creator of that code tells you how to do stuff like this (i.e. how to configure and install the source the right way) either in a website or in the documentation provided along the code. Usually the worst way of starting to compile something is just ramming at it..

Hi,

I have installed according to the document. But there are still errors.

The link for this code is :

I need to get this program running. Pleas could you give a suggestion or look at the code.
