How to compile and test pbft?

[rupc]

Hi @vonwenm !
I want to test pbft in your repository, but I don't know how to.
Could you explain how to test and to compile your repository?

[manishkk]

@rupc even I am trying same from here PBFT but No success.
What about you?

[rupc]

@manishkk I actually tried this repository from here(See Software section), but failed to deploy. There were many compile errors due to possibly older version of compiler. It seems that this code base is quite old, so It could be hard to find a way to compile without any errors.

[manishkk]

Totally agree with you. I am also in same situation.

[manishkk]

@rupc are you trying any other BFT protocol?

[rupc]

@manishkk yeah, BFT-SMaRt is the recent PBFT-based BFT protocol which is well maintained by the developer. I succeeded at deploying BFT-SMaRt just following their instructions. You can also read the paper. But I'm looking for testing original version of PBFT.

[manishkk]

@rupc really? even I was trying BFT-SMaRT but can't run successfully.

[manishkk]

@rupc for BFT-SMaRT, I am getting run time exception and not able to connect to server.
Can you suggest me something?

[rupc]

@manishkk Sorry for that, I don't have any clue for your error case. You can ask the developer of the BFT-SMaRt.

On one Terminal I am running Servers

./runscripts/smartrun.sh bftsmart.demo.counter.CounterServer 0 ./runscripts/smartrun.sh bftsmart.demo.counter.CounterServer 1 ./runscripts/smartrun.sh bftsmart.demo.counter.CounterServer 2 ./runscripts/smartrun.sh bftsmart.demo.counter.CounterServer 3

and on another terminal started client

./runscripts/smartrun.sh bftsmart.demo.counter.CounterClient 1001 1 1001

please correct me If I am following wrong way

[manishkk]

@rupc can you help me in running BFT-SMaRT? I am still struggling

[rupc]

@manishkk I don't know exactly your case, sorry for not being helpful. 😧 I'm not developer of BFT-SMaRt in the end, and I was successful few months ago, not now.

[manishkk]

Thanks @rupc
Working both now. :)
