[Olsr-dev] olsrd-0.6.4 host emulation mode socket error

[Vigneswaran R]

Hello,

[resending as plain text]

When I ran olsrd (0.6.4) in host emulation mode with olsr_switch, I got 
the error "sendto(v4): Socket operation on non-socket".

To reproduce the error, (after doing 'make' and 'make switch')

     ./olsr_switch
     ./olsrd -f olsrd.emu.conf -hemu 10.0.0.1

To debug, I ran olsrd with 'strace' and found that socket information 
(the variable 'send_socket') provided to sendto was '0' which caused the 
above error. On exploring the code, realized that in host emulation mode 
the 'send_socket' was not set.

Following is a small patch to resolve this problem. Thank you.

Regards,
Vignesh
