Module structure and WAF

[Hani Ayoub]

Hi Guys,

I created a new module according to this: https://www.nsnam.org/docs/release/3.13/manual/html/new-modules.html

My modules structure is as following:

 - doc

 - examples

 - helper

 - model

   - subdir1

     - subdir11

       - file11.cc

       - file11.h

   - subdir2

       - file2.cc

       - file2.h

 - test

My problem:

 - if file11.cc for example has: (#includes "file11.h") -> all fine

 - if file11.h has: (#include "file2.h") -> ./waf shouts on "No such file or directory" for file2.h

   - to fix this, I had to change it to: (#include "../../subdir2/file2.h")

   - this is problematic since I have A LOT of such files

Note: file2.h and file11.h are under headers in wscript

any idea how can I work-around this?

Thanks,

Hani;

Hi Hani,

First of all you should you the manual of the ns-3 release that you use (and that shouldn't be 3.13 ..)

https://www.nsnam.org/docs/manual/html/new-modules.html

There might be changes in the wscript format.

Now, to your question, you can use the 'relative' NS-3 path since you have added those header files in your wscript.

#include "ns3/file2.h" 

Regards,

K.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The thing is that my module sub-directories are used for another build system and I would like to take it as-is without adding the "ns3" prefix to its includes, neither changing them to the relative path... is that possible?

Thanks,

symlinks in this case helped... not a very clean solution, but does the work. Thanks.
