[ns] Error when using nsmiracle

[Federico Maguolo]

HI Balkrishna,

the problem is that the version of the dynamic library patch which is 
currently published on our website does not work on CYGWIN. 

We have already succeeded in making dynamic libraries work on CYGWIN, however 
we currently do not have an official patch for it. The problem is that on 
windows plugins are not easily built due to the limitations imposed by the 
dll format (see http://edll.sourceforge.net/). Consequently the modifications 
made to ns all-in-one are quite complicated. If you want to try them out have 
a look to this file:

http://www.dei.unipd.it/~maguolof/doc-ns-dynlib/windoz-dl.txt

Here you will find a diff between the original ns all-in-one distribution 
files and the ones which we have modified to support dynamic libraries on 
CYGWIN (the last row of the file is the command run in order to build the 
dei80211mr library). However, if you do not feel very confident with building 
dynamic libraries I think it is probably easier to install linux and run ns 
from there.

Regards 

Federico Maguolo
