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.

Thanks,

Well, given that the MCC documentation says

and that your output shows

My first suggestion would be: cd up a directory level, and (assuming there's a compile file there) try it again. If that doesn't work, either their documentation is incorrect, or they left something out of their distribution files - email, IRC or otherwise contact the developers. They're probably your best resource for a broken package.

However, my reading comprehension just kicked in - "(1.6.2004) Opening of the MCOP/TUT web pages. First versions of the MCC and MCS implementations has been published."

In other words, this is a broken package which is still at version 0.1 and hasn't been touched since 2004. Best of luck to you in making this work, but my level of optimism isn't running very high.

Since Ubuntu doesn't allow root directly, but through "sudo," I think it would be:

$ sudo /home/vamsi/Desktop/mcop/mcc# ./compile
{then answer request for password}
then the rest of your code...

Hi,

I tried to contact them by mail, but their email id is expired. I am trying so hard to find the problem, but the documentation is not helpful. What I should I do now!!!!

Anyhow thanks for your reply.

vamsi.

Honestly? It's an old, expired project which never made it out of version 0.1. There's nothing you can do about it except find another way to do whatever it is you need to do, without this particular project.
