something wrong about ospfd

[chuyinsu]

I downloaded the source code here:
www dot ospf dot org-->Release 2.0-->gzipped tar format

and there're errors when I run "make install".

I noticed that I might have to install some packages first:
gcc
g++
glibc
glibc-devel
libstdc++-devel
make
Tcl

some of above I managed to install(like gcc) but some I cannot find via "apt-get". e.g. I cannot find glibc and glibc-devel and libstdc++-devel using "sudo apt-get install (package name)" or "sudo aptitude install (package name)". So do some packages have other names in Ubuntu?

and when I unzipped the package:
sudo tar xvzf ***.tar.gz
and went into the directory
cd ospfd/linux
then:
make install
it failed.
I figured that this is an formal&fixed release so there shouldn't be something wrong in the source code. Maybe I made some mistakes without realizing them.

I'd be very appriciated if someone can told how to install this...

P.S. error messages:

cys@cys-laptop:~/temp/ospfd/linux$ sudo make install

g++ -MD -O -g -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wcast-qual -Wuninitialized -I. -I../src -I/usr/local/include -c linux.C
In file included from ../src/ospfinc.h:24,
from linux.C:33:
./machdep.h:93: [error]： C [function]‘char* strptime(char*, const char*, const tm*)’[declaration]

make: *** [linux.o] [error] 1
cys@cys-laptop:~/temp/ospfd/linux$

the words with [] like [error], [function] are in Chinese originally and I translated them into English.
I tried to change the function in machdep.h, which is
char* strptime(char*, const char*, const tm*)
into:
char* strptime(const char*, const char*, tm*)
and there is another error:
../src/dbage.C:117: [error]： ‘GetNextAdj’[is not declared in dbage.C]

very confused.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10
thanks!

In ubuntu the developers packages are named -dev and not -devel.
So for instance "glibc-dev"
These contain the header files needed to compile programs that use those packages.

Your error is in
/usr/include/time.h

which is part of a package named something like linux-kernel-headers-dev. I bet that this package is already installed.

I think ospfd was written for a different kernel version than what you have now. Compiling breaks because the definition GCC is confused about the redefinition of the method "strptime"

(I don't have an Ubuntu machine here to verify the correct names)

Thanks for your reply.

Maybe I have to change the Linux kernel to an old one...-_-;;;
I'll try that in a couple of days.
