Policy-based Resilience Simulator with OMNeT++/Building Distack

Distack compiles successfully on 64-bit systems (or says so) but on trying to access the library, it gives an error (associated with libdistack.so). That is why I recommended to go for a 32-bit OS at the beginning. Install Dependencies You need to install few dependencies before building distack: libxerces-c-dev libboost-all-dev autotools-dev automake autoconf libpthread-workqueue-dev libpthread-stubs0-dev libltdl-dev libpcap-dev gnuplot Download and Extract Download Distack Source tar ball from here (ID #7). Extract it to the omnetpp folder. Patching ReaSE Now copy distack-1.2.3-dev/etc/patches/rease/distack_rease.patch to omnetpp folder in Home (parent directory of "ReaSE" folder) and navigate to that directory in terminal and to apply the patch, do the following: patch -p0 < ./distack_rease.patch You should see an output like this: patching file ReaSE/src/applications/util/DistackRAOData.msg patching file ReaSE/src/applications/util/DistackRemoteTCPPayload.msg patching file ReaSE/src/networklayer/ipv4/IP_hack.cc patching file ReaSE/src/networklayer/ipv4/IP_hack.h patching file ReaSE/src/networklayer/ipv4/IP_hack.ned patching file ReaSE/src/nodes/inet/DDoSZombie.ned patching file ReaSE/src/nodes/inet/DistackOmnetIDS.ned patching file ReaSE/src/nodes/inet/DistackOmnetModule.ned patching file ReaSE/src/nodes/inet/NetworkLayer_hack.ned patching file ReaSE/src/nodes/inet/TraceRouter.ned patching file ReaSE/src/nodes/inet/WormHost.ned patching file ReaSE/src/transport/contract/DistackTCPSocketMap.cc patching file ReaSE/src/transport/contract/DistackTCPSocketMap.h If, by any chance, the files are created in a temporary directory, for e.g., ReaSE_patched, make sure you copy these files into the ReaSE/src directory. Rebuilding ReaSE Now go to OMNeT++ IDE, Right Click on ReaSE in Project Explorer, click "Clean Project" and then build it pressing Ctrl +B or Project > Build All. Building Distack In terminal, navigate to distack folder and run: ./bootstrap In following command, replace <your_username> with your username: ./configure CPPFLAGS='-I/home/<your_user_name>/omnetpp-4.1/include -I/home/<your_username>/inet/src/networklayer/ipv4 -I/home/<your_username>/inet/src/base -I/home/<your_username>/inet/src/networklayer/contract -I/home/<your_username>/inet/src/networklayer/common -I/home/<your_username>/inet/src/linklayer/contract -I/home/<your_username>/inet/src/transport/tcp -I/home/<your_username>/inet/src/transport/udp -I/home/<your_username>/inet/src/transport/contract -I/home/<your_username>/inet/src/networklayer/arp -I/home/<your_username>/ReaSE/src/transport/contract -I/home/<your_username>/ReaSE/src/base -I/home/<your_username>/ReaSE/src/applications/util' --enable-simulation=yes Then run make The Distack libraries will be in the directory: /distack/src/.libs/ Now you need to patch INET and ReaSE.
