Disable warning messages in debug mod on ns2

If you are writing simulations on ns2 you probably wants to run it in debug mod under eclipse or similar development enviorements. To do so we must configure the makefile by calling

./configure --enable-debug

under ns2.xx folder. After this we can run make to build an debug-able version of ns2. But the make procedure stops in each warning message so i have to correct each warning in ns2. (a very boring job ). So i ask my friends how to build a warning free debug edition of makefile. Thanks to Ali Boyacı he figure out the necessarry change in makefie I have to made.

After calling

./configure --enable-debug

open your makefile and locate between lines 50-60
there will be a line as

CCOPT = -g -Wall -Wno-write-strings -Wno-parentheses -Werror

Remove

-Werror

at the end of this line and save your makefile and call make command.
That is all. But in each “./configure –enable-debug” call you have to redo this tip.
