linking boost c++ library

[Kemal Deniz Teket]

Hi all,

I need to link an external library (boost) to ns3. I searched on web
but i couldn't find any precise explanation. Can anyone suggest me any
source?

Thanks

Hi,

ns-3 already uses boost in some places. If I do remember well, in the
flow monitor module. Check there for hints.

Cheers,

T.

need help. I include the boost head file, but I had the link errors like this:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

  "boost::system::system_category()", referenced from:

      __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)in ipv4-nix-vector-routing.cc.1.o

  "boost::system::generic_category()", referenced from:

      __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)in ipv4-nix-vector-routing.cc.1.o

Hi,

It's not enough to add the header.

You have to link the libraries using the waf script

See this thread for more information https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/ns-3-users/h4VGu4-x_ps

Hi,thanks for your reply. I am not familiar with the waf build system. I have tried by followed by the thread, but still do not work.

The build errors:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

  "boost::system::system_category()", referenced from:

      __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)in ipv4-nix-vector-routing.cc.2.o

  "boost::system::generic_category()", referenced from:

      __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)in ipv4-nix-vector-routing.cc.2.o

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

I want to use the boost library in Nix-vecotr-routing model.

I have modified the wscript in Nix-vector-routing model.

def build(bld)

obj=bld.create(...)

obj.env.append_value('LIBPATH','/Users/jluo/Downloads/boost_1_50_0/stage/lib')

obj.includes='/Users/jluo/Downloads/boost_1_50_0'

obj.lib=['boost']

obj.libpath=['/Users/jluo/Downloads/boost_1_50_0/stage/lib']

But when I run ./waf , it still give the message "ld: library not found for -lboost"

should I need to change the wscript in the top level? And how?
