Because the language of
operating system is Traditional Chinese. The text of button is shown in
Chinese. But you don’t need to worry about this. I think it is shown in English
in your computer. Just click “Next”.

Then choose “Install from Local
Directory”

Click “Next”.
(Just keep the settings as they are.)

XFree86-base, XFree86-bin, XFree86-prog, XFree86-lib, XFree86-etc, make, patch, perl, gcc, gcc-g++, gawk, gnuplot, tar and
gzip must be chosen. For example, if I want
to install XFree-86 base (upper figure), click the “Skip” of “New” column. The
“Skip” will be changed to “4.3.0-1” (lower figure).

[myNS2 setup]
1.
Click the icon on the desktop.
2.
For the first time execution,
it will generate some environment parameter setting files. In this example, smallko is my login name to windows system. Therefore, the cygwin will create a folder named “smallko”
under home directory. (The actual path for smallko
folder is: c:\cygwin\home\smallko) It should be noticed that the login name can
not have any space in your name. For example, “A B” may cause errors when you
install NS2.
3.
Download myNS2.
4.
Decompress the
ns-allinone-2.28.rar.
5.
Move this folder under
c:\cygwin\home\smallko. (P.S. smallko is my login
name)
6.
Open a cygwin
window
7.
Change the path to
ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28
8.
Run the command “./configure;
make clean; make
9.
Please be patient. It will take
some time to finish the compilation.
10.
When it is done, it should look
like as follows.
11.
To make sure that you have
successfully installed myNS2, you need to check whether you can find ns.exe
under ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28
12.
Copy the .bashrc
to c:/cygwin/home/smallko
13.
Run the example script to test
whether you have setup the path or not.
14.
If you see the error message like “ns
command not found”, no worry about this. Sometimes even you have setup the
path, but it does not work. You can copy the ns.exe (nam.exe) to the same place
as the simulation script. Run the simulation with “./ns.exe”
and it will be ok.
./configure; make clean; make command is not working in my system? please any one tell me the solution for that prob.
