Using Boost libraries with ns3

[HA]

Hello,

I am trying to run the following script "test"cc" which is located in scratch folder:

#include "ns3/core-module.h"

#include <boost/asio.hpp>

NS_LOG_COMPONENT_DEFINE ("HelloSimulator");

using namespace ns3;

int

main (int argc, char *argv[])

{

  NS_LOG_UNCOND ("Hello Linux");

}

Since I am using boost libraries I used the following command to determine the boost include and libraries:

root@ubuntu:/home/ha/workspace/source/ns-3.19# export BOOSTDIR=/home/ha/boost_1_49_0/

root@ubuntu:/home/ha/workspace/source/ns-3.19# ./waf configure --boost-includes=$BOOSTDIR/include --boost-libs=$BOOSTDIR/lib

And the output was OK:

Checking boost includes                                                                      : 1_49 

Checking boost libs                                                                              : ok 

Checking for boost linkage                                                                  : ok

But when I run ./waf I get the following errors, below you can see also that boost path is different from what I configured before

So how can I solve this problem?

I want to use the boost libraries to implement a TCP client, so during the simulation when I have a certain callback, I use the TCP client to send some values to a TCP server and get back a response.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Looks like you need to Google "linker error when compiling boost.asio example"

Hi,

Have you managed to solve this linker issue? I would be of great help if you could share your solution with me.

Kindest,
Matt
