How can I build NS-3 Script using g++ and pkg-config

[Ernest Esene]

Hi ns-3-users,

Is it possible to  build ns-3 script (C++)  under scratch folder using g++ and pkg-config?

I know it is usually done via ./waf as it is in this Makefile:

# Makefile wrapper for waf

all:

./waf

# free free to change this part to suit your requirements

configure:

#./waf configure --enable-examples --enable-tests

build:

#./waf build

install:

./waf install

clean:

./waf clean

distclean:

./waf distclean

I have ns3 library under /usr/lib

/usr/lib/libns3.26-antenna-debug.so    /usr/lib/libns3.26-mpi-debug.so
