INSTALLATION GUIDE:

Please follow these installation steps:

/!\ It is recommended to use the Ubuntu8.04 distribution of LINUX and the C++ 4.3 compiler version or latest.

1) Check which version of your compiler C++.

Download the following packages:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev
cd /usr/local

download and unzip ns-allinone-2.29.tar.gz provided her:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mihnistns229/files/latest/download

sudo tar -xzvf ns-allinone-2.29.tar.gz
cd ns-allinone-2.29
./install

2) If similar errors are displayed in the TCL code:

"checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./configure: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
tcl8.3.2 configuration failed! Exiting ...
Tcl is not part of the ns project. Please see www.Scriptics.com
to see if they have a fix for your platform."

Then, modify the following lines :

system=MP-RAS-awk ' { print $3 } '/etc/.relid'

By these ones:

system=MP-RAS-awk ' { print $3 } '/etc/.relid

Apply these actions in these three directories:
../tcl8.4.11/unix/configure
../tk8.4.11/unix/configure
../otcl-1.11/unix/configure

Confirm these operations:

sudo gedit tcl8.4.11/unix/configure
sudo autoconf
sudo gedit tk8.4.11/unix/configure
sudo autoconf
sudo gedit otcl-1.11/configure
sudo autoconf

Once the tcl problem is solved, you may have these warning:

warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous 'else'
warning: suggest parentheses around && within ||
warning: suggest parentheses around comparison in operand of &
warning: 'typedef' was ignored in this declaration

This is due to your version of GCC (here gcc4.3.2).
To remove this warning you should modify the configure file in ../ns2.29 :

sudo gedit ns-2.29/configure

Add this line:
-Wno-write-strings -Wno-parentheses
to all lines :
CCOPT = -g -Wall
To get:
CCOPT = -g -Wall -Wno-write-strings -Wno-parentheses

3) Download gcc-4.1 with this command

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.1

and download the path of ns2 ns2292-gcc410:

sudo wget http://my.opera.com/mysurface/homes/blog/ns2292-gcc4:
0.patch
sudo patch -p1 < ns2292-gcc410.patch

4) At this stage, you will be able to install NS2 by doing:

./install

Once done:
gedit ~/.bashrc
Write the following PATH in the .bashrc file

NSHOME=/usr/local/ns-allinone-2.29
export PATH=$PATH:$NSHOME/bin:$NSHOME/tcl8.4.11/unix:/$NSHOME/tk8.4.11/unix
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NSHOME/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:$NSHOME/otcl-
export TCL_LIBRARY=$NSHOME/tcl/library

5) Source the .bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

6) Validation: (it would take several minutes - it is not mandatory for NS2)
cd ns-2.29
./validate

7) Run the ns2.9-MIH
ns
%

8) Navigateinto the samples directories in order to find example of available scenarios using MIH IEEE802.21 Handover mechanism
