Unable to build ns3-dce with waf

[HA]

Hi,

I am trying to build ns3-dce using waf. However, I am getting error when I am passing configuration parameters for waf inside ns3-dce. The error is related to setting ns3 core directory. Here are the steps I have followed to build with waf:

1. Download pybindgen (optional)

bzr clone https://launchpad.net/pybindgen
cd pybindgen

./waf configure --prefix=$HOME/workspace/build
./waf
./waf install

2. Download ns-3.23 and build it in optimized mode

hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3.23
./waf configure --disable-examples -d optimized --prefix=$HOME/workspace/build --includedir=$HOME/workspace/include/
./waf build
./waf install

3. Clone net-next-sim using 3.14 branch and enable MPTCP

git clone https://github.com/thehajime/net-next-sim.git
cd net-next-sim
git checkout sim-ns3-3.14.0-branch

cat >> arch/sim/defconfig <<END

CONFIG_MPTCP=y
CONFIG_MPTCP_PM_ADVANCED=y
CONFIG_MPTCP_FULLMESH=y
CONFIG_MPTCP_NDIFFPORTS=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_FULLMESH=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_MPTCP_PM="fullmesh"
CONFIG_TCP_CONG_COUPLED=y
CONFIG_TCP_CONG_OLIA=y

END

make defconfig OPT=yes ARCH=sim
make library OPT=yes ARCH=sim

4. Download, configure, build and install DCE 1.6

hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3-dce -r dce-1.6
./waf configure --with-ns3=$HOME/workspace/build --enable-opt --enable-kernel-stack=$HOME/workspace/net-next-sim/arch --prefix=$HOME/workspace/build
./waf build
./waf install

The error happens when I type the waf configure command for DCE. Here is the reported error:

Checking for ns3-core (None)               : not found
The configuration failed
(complete log in /home/ha/workspace/ns-3-dce/build/config.log)

This is the output of the config.log file:

It is strange because I am specifying the build directory of of ns3 as the destination directory. So what's t he problem?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,
Note that '--prefix=$HOME/workspace/build' is where ./waf install copies files. As such I prefer to call the folder "$HOME/workspace/install" instead of build that can be confused with ns3/build.

I am not sure of the error but I wonder if setting the same --prefix for both ns3 and dce can lead to this problem. Waht if you don't set dce --prefix or set it to another value ?

./waf configure --with-ns3=$HOME/workspace/build --enable-opt --enable-kernel-stack=$HOME/workspace/net-next-sim/arch

Hi,

I don't think the problem as you pointed. It is something related to the configuration file. Now, I tried to download ns3.19 instead of n3.23 and the configure command of waf in ns-3-dce worked perfectly and identified the ns3 core.

So the problem is with version compatibility, I suppose. So how to solve this problem?

Indeed, it might be a problem with some versions
combination.

why not using bake ? you can replace net-next-sim version
after a bake build.

Hi Hajime,

How to replace replace net-next-sim version from 2.6 to the latest stable kernel version with the latest version of mptcp 0.89?

[Tran Viet Hoang]

Hi,

Got the same problem with dev branch. I solved the issue by removing "--enable-opt" from "waf configure" command.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. It worked, but when I am trying to run some of the scripts inside the dce folder. It gives me this message:

assert failed. cond="filePath.length () > 0", msg="Stack file 'liblinux.so' not found ! Please check your DCE_PATH environment variable.", file=../model/kernel-socket-fd-factory.cc, line=566

terminate called without an active exception

I set the environment variables using ./waf shell. However, I a still getting the same problem. Did you have this problem?

Nice, it seems previous issue is due to optimization of DCE in recent version.

No, but did you create the liblinux.so kernel file, and verify the file name is correct?

[Hany Assasa]

Hi,

Yes, I created a link liblinux.so manually. However, building with waf is a little of headache. You still need to do more things manually like downloading iproute, iperf, wget, httpd and compile them. What I did now is, I used bake to automate things and I modified the config file before starting the downloading and building process. So the bake file can downloaded the latest Kernel 3.14 from the git repository.

Hi,
I installed the ns3-dce-dev using bake. But I want to edit code inside ccnx. Then how can i compile and build the ccnx code only? Another bake.py clean can not remove the object file created in the previous build. If i have to built using the only command bake.py build then it takes huge time. I can not see any changes rather than the first built. Please give the guideline where as I can solve the problem.
