ION-Core for Windows and Linux

After some Windows 10 updates, WSL2 has no network connection... downgrade: In Windows Powershell get your name/version:

wsl -l -v

Set it to version 1:

wsl --set-version Ubuntu-22.04 1"

Yeah, so after some Googling this seems to be an issue with WSL2 and some unknown versions of Windows 10. Geez. Just downgrade.

To build:

Be sure you have the tools installed:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install make gcc

Get the ion sources:

wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/ion-dtn/files/ion-open-source-4.1.2.tar.gz/download

tar -zxvf download

Get the ION-Core repo:

git clone https://github.jpl.nasa.gov/PTL/ION-Core.git

cd ION-Core

git checkout 4.1.2

./scripts/extract.sh ../ion-open-source-4.1.2

make

make install

Want man pages?

./scripts/make-man-pages.sh ../ion-open-source-4.1.2/

Make a host.rc file

./scripts/host.sh this IP that IP

For example:

./scripts/host.sh 192.168.254.192 192.168.254.194

Makes the config file host192.rc

ionstart -i host192.rc

Now we can use bping, bpsource, bprecvfile etc.
