ns3-visualizer fails, ns-3.29 will not build (Ubuntu 18.04) (Installed with Bake)

[Shubham Kumar]

Hello!

I've been trying to build ns-3.29 on Ubuntu run on VMware. I followed the instructions step-by-step on https://www.nsnam.org/wiki/Installation#Installation after downloading all pre-requisites. 

Everything was OK when I ran bake.py check.

Upon building (bake.py deploy), the following happened:

Downloading, building and installing the selected modules and dependencies.

Please, be patient, this may take a while!

 Upon running bake.py --debug build -v, the following was outputted:

I've searched previous threads, but all of them used Waf to build.

I'm sorry if any of this was unclear, I am still very new to Linux and unfamiliar with the terminal. 

Any help would appreciated! Let me know if anything else is needed! Thanks!

Please cd into the ns-3.29 directory and run './waf build' directly from
there, and report how it is failing.

Thank you for your response. I tried waf a couple hours back and it worked! Sorry for not updating.

Little curious as to why './bake.py deploy' didn't work. But oh well!

I just started over with 'deploy' and it also worked for me.  Deploy is just a wrapper to 'download' plus 'build', and 'build' of ns-3.29 just calls 'waf build'.

Hi there,

I encounter the same error with kumars, using `bake.py deploy` and build failed. I tried the solution given by Tom in this thread,  but still build failed even when I ran `./waf build` under ns-3.29 directory. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Upon building (bake.py build), the following happened:

Then, I entered ns-3.29 directory, and tried ./waf build -v, it showed (only included error parts):
