[Ns-developers] dynamic libraries on cygwin

[Baldo Nicola]

Hi Tom & everybody,

I have been adapting our original version of the patch for dynamic 
library support on cygwin in order to make it suitable for merging into 
the next ns release which is to be freezed on Dec 15.

You can get the patch at this link:
http://www.dei.unipd.it/~baldo/ns-dl-cygwin-2007-12-07.tar.gz

The code base I've been working on is the DYNLIB branch on the ns CVS 
repository. In the .tar.gz archive you will also find two .cc files 
which are to be put in the common/ subdirectory.

One final note... when making the ns-allinone distribution, in order to 
effectively activate dynamic library support for cygwin, it will also be 
required to patch the tcl.m4 file which is present in the tcl8.X/unix 
and tk8.X/unix directories to fix the issue reported in this bug report:

Feedback welcome!
