troubles with using "./build.py "to build ns-3.24 on os x

[th_...@qq.com]

Hi,everyone!

    I used to use ns3 with Eclipse on Ubuntu,and it's running well.Now I have to do it on a Macbook,I have searched many ways to do it,including ns3 wiki,our group,but I still have problems.Here are some pictures  that show my trouble.The common error is something about "typeid".

What should I do?

Hi,

for the moment, you can disable the Python bindings. However we found that there are some issues between ns-3 and Xcode 7.0. As a consequence, even if you disable the Python bindings, it will not compile.

Until we have a patch ready, the suggestion is: revert to Xcode 6.4

Sorry for the inconvenience,

T.

For the records, the bug being tracked is this:

https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2181

In the webpage there is a temporary solution, but how to resolve the bug for good is still being discussed.

The bug will be updated with the solution we will decide to implement.

Cheers,

T.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice! But unfortunately , I have to tell you that the bug solved above is different from mine.Of course I tried it,but it didn't work. 

You can just see the errors showed in the picture,it's something like 

"src/wimax/bindings/ns3module.cc:1   

be evaluated despite being used as an operand to 'typeid' [-Werror, -Wpotentially-evaluted-expression ]

            if (typeid(*（const_cast<ns3::NetDevice *> (ns3::PeekPointer （arg1)))).name( ) == typeid(PyNs3NetDevice_PythonHelper).name( ))

BTW,I also think maybe I lost something to install,but I don't know what is that.

Hi,

as I said, the workaround (for now) is to:

1) disable Python Bindings (./waf configure --disable-python), and

2) apply the patch in the tracker.

Then it should work.

Cheers,

T.

PS: next time, please copy-paste the errors and/or attach a text log. Pics are bigger and more difficult to read.

I was able to test on an Xcode 7.0 machine today and found that the
compilation error could be worked around by passing an environment
variable to the Waf configure step.

Please see the below errata page for a temporary workaround until we
make a maintenance release sometime later this week:

Hi,

With your help and TH's advice,now I can build NS-3 with eclipse.That's quite a big step for me!

But when I try to run a scratch,in the "Run Configurations"dialog box ,when I press "Search Project" there is nothing to select.I think the project wasn't build successfully.

Thanks again for your help.It's  a little hard for me to solve these problems .Maybe I should finally use a virtual machine instead and look forward to the next release.
