Ok so after spending a lot of time on trying to debug ns in eclipse, I found the solution! to give a step by step guide: after installing ns2 and eclipse, first take the steps given in the following site : http://blog.karthiksankar.com/ns2-eclipse/ except that don't change the make file
after doing this you should be able to build and run your ns and tcl file without error seeing the % command or the output of your tcl now to be able to debug ns in eclipse, go to your .../ns-allinone/ns-2.3x/Makefile.in file and change the following: 1. change CCOPT = @V_CCOPT@ to CCOPT = @V_CCOPT@ -g 2. add -DNDEBUG -DDEBUG to the end of DEFINE = -DTCP_DELAY_BIND_ALL -DNO_TK @V_DEFINE@ @V_DEFINES@ @DEFS@-DNS_DIFFUSION -DSMAC_NO_SYNC -DCPP_NAMESPACE=@CPP_NAMESPACE@-DUSE_SINGLE_ADDRESS_SPACE -Drng_test that is: DEFINE = -DTCP_DELAY_BIND_ALL -DNO_TK @V_DEFINE@ @V_DEFINES@ @DEFS@-DNS_DIFFUSION -DSMAC_NO_SYNC -DCPP_NAMESPACE=@CPP_NAMESPACE@-DUSE_SINGLE_ADDRESS_SPACE -Drng_test -DNDEBUG -DDEBUG now navigate to .../ns-allinone/ns2.3x and run ./configure and after that "make clean" and then "make" now you will be getting a few errors in some files (I only got 2!) regarding debug, go to the line numbers of those files and comment what is causing the error (probably puts) thats it! now you can go to your eclipse and define some breakpoints and hit the debug button and lean back and enjoy what you see!
