Building the CBNSim content-based network simulator

This page contains instructions on how to build the CBNSim content-based network simulator and all its dependencies from source.

Building in a shared directory

These instructions are for building all packages in a shared directory, which in this example will be /tools/cbn. Of course, you may use whatever directory you like, including (e.g., /usr/local or /opt). You may also execute all the following steps by running this shell script.

1. build and install sff-1.9.4

   wget http://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/cbn/forwarding/sff-1.9.4.tar.gz -O - | tar xzf -
   mkdir sff-build
   cd sff-build
   ../sff-1.9.4/configure --prefix=/tools/cbn
   make
   make install
   cd ..
   

2. build and install ssbg-1.3.5

   wget http://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/cbn/forwarding/ssbg-1.3.5.tar.gz -O - | tar xzf -
   mkdir ssbg-build
   cd ssbg-build
   ../ssbg-1.3.5/configure --prefix=/tools/cbn
   make
   make install
   cd ..
   

3. build and install ssim-1.7.5

   wget http://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/ssim/ssim-1.7.5.tar.gz -O - | tar xzf -
   mkdir ssim-build
   cd ssim-build
   ../ssim-1.7.5/configure --prefix=/tools/cbn
   make
   make install
   cd ..
   

4. build and install ssimp-1.1.5

   wget http://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/cbn/forwarding/ssimp-1.1.5.tar.gz -O - | tar xzf -
   mkdir ssimp-build
   cd ssimp-build
   ../ssimp-1.1.5/configure --prefix=/tools/cbn CPPFLAGS=-I/tools/cbn/include LDFLAGS=-L/tools/cbn/lib
   make
   make install
   cd ..
   

5. build and install cbnsim-1.2.1

   wget http://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/cbn/routing/cbnsim-1.2.1.tar.gz -O - | tar xzf -
   mkdir ssimp-build
   cd cbnsim-build
   ../cbnsim-1.2.1/configure --prefix=/tools/cbn CPPFLAGS=-I/tools/cbn/include LDFLAGS=-L/tools/cbn/lib
   make
   make install
   cd ..
   

Building each package in a separate directory

These instructions are for building each package in a separate directory. In this case, we put all these directories in the same base directory /tools. Of course, you may choose completely different directories for all packages. You may also execute all the following steps by running this shell script.

1. build and install sff-1.9.4

   wget http://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/cbn/forwarding/sff-1.9.4.tar.gz -O - | tar xzf -
   mkdir sff-build
   cd sff-build
   ../sff-1.9.4/configure --prefix=/tools/sff-1.9.4
   make
   make install
   cd ..
   

2. build and install ssbg-1.3.5

   wget http://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/cbn/forwarding/ssbg-1.3.5.tar.gz -O - | tar xzf -
   mkdir ssbg-build
   cd ssbg-build
   ../ssbg-1.3.5/configure --prefix=/tools/ssbg-1.3.5
   make
   make install
   cd ..
   

3. build and install ssim-1.7.5

   wget http://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/ssim/ssim-1.7.5.tar.gz -O - | tar xzf -
   mkdir ssim-build
   cd ssim-build
   ../ssim-1.7.5/configure --prefix=/tools/ssim-1.7.5
   make
   make install
   cd ..
   

4. build and install ssimp-1.1.5

   wget http://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/cbn/forwarding/ssimp-1.1.5.tar.gz -O - | tar xzf -
   mkdir ssimp-build
   cd ssimp-build
   ../ssimp-1.1.5/configure --prefix=/tools/ssimp-1.1.5 --with-sff=/tools/sff-1.9.4
   make
   make install
   cd ..
   

5. build and install cbnsim-1.2.1

   wget http://www.inf.usi.ch/carzaniga/cbn/routing/cbnsim-1.2.1.tar.gz -O - | tar xzf -
   mkdir ssimp-build
   cd cbnsim-build
   ../cbnsim-1.2.1/configure --prefix=/tools/cbnsim-1.2.1 --with-sff=/tools/sff-1.9.4 --with-ssbg=/tools/ssbg-1.3.5 --with-ssim=/tools/ssim-1.7.5 --with-ssimp=/tools/ssimp-1.1.5
   make
   make install
   cd ..
