[Ns-developers] ns-2.31 release candidates for test

[Francesco Gringoli]

Hi Tom,

I built ns on Intel OSX and got "All test output agrees with  
reference output.". Nice. This is gcc -v output

--Thread model: posix
--gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)

Building nam fails, instead: I get

/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_TkCreateXEventSource
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [nam] Error 1

The issue is still in tcl/tk shipped by Apple: nam Makefile tries to  
link with tcl/tk in /usr/lib. I sorted out this way: first, I created  
a link to the core osx library inside nam directory:

$: cd nam-1.13
$: ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/ 
A/CoreFoundation libhack.dylib

Then I linked nam with static tcl/tk in ns-allinone:

$: g++ -o nam \
tkcompat.o \
tkUnixInit.o \
xwd.o \
netview.o \
netmodel.o \
