some Ns3 modules are not build

[Ahmed Lafta]

Hi
after Ns3 was downloaded and built, I have tested it but some modules have not been built like (

brite, click, openflow, visualizer). I do not know how can I build it?
Looking forward to your help..
Regards

Let me quote the tutorial.

https://www.nsnam.org/docs/tutorial/html/getting-started.html#building-ns3

Regarding the portion about modules not built:

Modules not built (see ns-3 tutorial for explanation):
brite                     click                     openflow
visualizer

This just means that some ns-3 modules that have dependencies on outside libraries may not have been built, or that the configuration specifically asked not to build them. It does not mean that the simulator did not build successfully or that it will provide wrong results for the modules listed as being built.

What part of the above sentence is unclear to you ?

Have fun,

T.

Thanks for your reply 

I understand that these modules are assumed built but it may be need other dependencies on outside libraries.

I need to know which modules dependencies outside the Ns3 library and How can I download and build the dependency of each module. 

Also, How can I verify these module are built correctly?

Regards

Please study the tutorial. We didn't write it for the aliens.

These modules are built only if you meet the required dependencies but they are NOT mandatory. As a matter of fact, the only mandatory module is "core".

The specific dependencies and how to install them on your computer depends on the computer and operating system. In some case it's just impossible to meet them. Not a biggie.

The rule of thumb is: if you need one of these modules, then search in Internet how to build it. In the ns-3 wiki and manual there are usually very good instructions.

If you don't need them (or if you don't know what they are), simply go on.

Again, please study the tutorial (and perhaps take a look at the manual).

Thanks,

T.
