>Question/Comment:
>Dear ladies & gentlemen,
>
>i need a tool like iperf v1.7.0 for my study project to continously
measure data throughput. it is my task to build up a wireless lan testing
scenario outdoors at some kind of hghway. then, i will measure throughput &
roaming time with three wireless cells according to the 802.11g standard.
>my problem is, i must use windows for the measurements, because there
actually is no linux-driver for the wlan pc-card for the notebook-client
driving along the wireless cells.
>the pc-card is a "proxim orinoco 11b/g silver". i need that specific one,
because it 1.) has an external antenna plug-in, and 2.) is 802.11g compliant.
>
>i did not managed to get iperf compiled for windows, neither v1.7.0, nor
v.2.0.1. i grabbed a pre-compiled .exe of v.1.7.0 which works fine, but i
must adjust the min. interval between two measurements to approx. 0.1s
(default is 0.5s) as i will measure the roaming time between two cells as
well, which should be in the range of 0.5s.
>
>so far, i tried the following:
>
>1.) under windows xp: compiled the v1.7.0 source code with cygwin. worked
somehow, but program stops responding when quitted an the results-output to
some file did not work anymore. an i need the cygwin1.dll to run the
program - not nice...
>
>to compile, i ran the make command.
>
>2.) same as above, but delted the config.h.in file and renamed the
config.win32.h to config .h.in --> i got compiler errors
>
>3.) windows xp and "dev-vpp 4.9.9.1" --> makefile errors: "VERSION - no
such file or directory. No rule to make target "VERSION"
>
>AND: no rule to make target "Makefile.rules.in" needed by "Makefile.rules"
>
>why are these commandos interpreted as targets???
>
>4.) tried to compile in MSYS / MinGW32:
>the compiler asks "What type is the 3rd argument of accept a pointer to?
[int]". i enter "int", but no other system asks me that question.
>it doesnt find the "gettimeofday" either. many errors an warnings occur.
>
>5.) under linux with crosscompiler "mingw32-linux-x86-glibc.tar.gz"
>doesnt work either: i ran the "cross-make.sh" script, but noc success...
>
>can you help me, how did you make a working, cygwin.dll independet .exe
file for windows?
