Error when running build.py

[Hongyi Yao]

Hi everyone, I'm a new one to ns3 and today I try to install it in cygwin.

But I found an error that no one has reported before. So could you please give me a hand and show me what's wrong?

Here is the error message when running build.py.

Help, this error almost drove me mad...

Well, I finally make it out. The reason is that I got a old version gcc. To install ns3-14, your gcc version should be above 4.5. Sign...

ns-3 is primarily developed on GNU/Linux platforms, and the minimal requirements to run basic simulations are a gcc installation of gcc-3.4/g++-3.4 or greater, and python 2.4 or greater.

hi.. 

i am very new to ns3.. i installed it in my windows 7 system using cygwin but my netanim module doesnt seem to be working.. got the exact same error as you had. did getting gcc 4.5 correct the error?

[John Abraham]

you can independently download NetAnim via "hg clone
http://code.nsnam.org/netanim". To build NetAnim on windows you will
need to use the native QtCreator over native windows compiler. in
other words a pretty long process.
See a thread https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/ns-3-users/j3eg1cFx8Qo

In my opinion, to get the best out of ns-3, use a Linux VM.

okay i will take your suggestion and get a Linux VM, but in the meantime could you walk me through the steps needed to install NetAnim in Windows. Right now downloading the QtCreator. what are the steps to be followed next?
