Which Ubuntu version is suitable for ns-2.28?
I have patches that only runs on ns-2.28.

These are patches
1. ns2.28-span-gcc4.patch
2. ns2.28-gcc4-configure-scripts.patch
for SPAN and PSM for energy efficency in mobile ad hoc network.

I need to run these protocols for my thesis.
I tried with Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 9.10.
But i got too many errors in installation of ns-2.28 in Ubuntu after patching.



Please help me.

Since you don't tell us what the errors are, there's not a lot we can suggest. You started off saying you were using Windows 10 and cygwin (which isn't something Linux related), and now you're asking about Ubuntu? Did you INSTALL Ubuntu? Because 9.10 is ancient, and you mention 18.04....which is it?

And you need to read the LQ Rules about posting duplicate threads, and the "Question Guidelines". Do basic research first, such as performing a search, as this question has been asked and answered MANY times on this site:

Sorry for my mistakes and thanks u for guiding me sir.

Again, read the LQ Rules, and pay attention to the part about not using text-speak. If you are working on your thesis, you should know how to spell "please" and "you".

You still haven't told us what errors you were getting or what version of Ubuntu you installed (or even if you DID install it). We cannot help if you don't post details and ask a clear question. It is very possible that your 18.04 Ubuntu errors can be fixed, but we don't know that unless you give us details.

OK with $ export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install : No errors.

... My comment: I guess you know how to copy-paste a text.


No errors here. Please install `tcsh´: sudo apt-get install tcsh

Example, Ubuntu 18.04 - amd64 → → gcc-3.4.6 compilers required :
compat-gcc34-3.4.6-ubuntu1204-1_amd64.deb ( Ubuntu 12* .. 19.04 - 64 )

compat-gcc-34-c++_3.4.6-20_amd64.deb
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...ew?usp=sharing

Testing with Ubuntu 18.04 - amd64 :
perl run-span.pl tcl/mobility/scene/600-600-n120-0-t600-m1-p60-e0-r10.scen -stop 120
* The files /tmp/{span.out, span.stdout, span.tr} are created :
* span.out 1.7MB, span.stdout 4.8kB, span.tr 24.6MB .

* Same result with the ns2 reference OS = PCLinuxOS 2019.
