RE: instprocs problem

[Tan Yuan Sin <eng70202@nus.edu.sg>]

After taking away the line -"source ns-autoconf.tcl" in tcl/lib/ns-lib.tcl,
I managed to compile ns. However no ns.lib or ns.exp was created.
When I tried to run it, it displayed the entire contents of the files in
tcl/lib and then ends with the error message -
: invalid command name "Node/SatNode"
    while executing
"Node/SatNode instproc init args {
eval $self next $args           :# parent class constructor

.....
.....

Any clue? Thank you.

If you look your ns-2/tcl/gen/, you should find something like (these
are
files generated under win98 and vc5.0)

-rwxrwxr-x  1 root  wheel  1344436 Aug  9 14:06 ns_tcl.cc*
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root  wheel   365187 Aug  9 14:06 ns_tcl.o*
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root  wheel     8198 Aug  9 14:07 ptypes.cc*
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root  wheel     3038 Aug  9 14:07 ptypes.o*
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root  wheel       34 Aug  9 14:04 version.c*
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root  wheel      292 Aug  9 14:04 version.o*

I suspect that there might be problem in generating ns_tcl.cc (which
embeds all tcl scripts into c++). Can you see if it's done correctly? 

BTW, You should not have ns-autoconf.tcl because it's generated by
configure which is not available under win*.
