"error: ns3/simulator-module.h :no such file or directory

[ahmad yulianto]

Dear all; i found in http://www.nsnam.org/docs/release/3.9/tutorial/tutorial_18.html still include some ...

4.2.2 Module Includes

The code proper starts with a number of include statements.

  #include "ns3/core-module.h"
  #include "ns3/simulator-module.h"
  #include "ns3/node-module.h"
  #include "ns3/helper-module.h"

i have problem with simulator module, 

"error: ns3/simulator-module.h :no such file or directory
     error: ns3/node-module.h :no such file or directory "

and i found that  in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ns-3-users/LwJy-ApJxkU ,  and someone suggest to replace by 

"enough write only

#include "ns3/core-module.h"
#include "ns3/internet-module.h" 
"

is 

My question:  is,it really no file on /build? i mean that is it same "function" with replace ?

I have list on ns3 :

[Konstantinos]

Hi,

You are reading the tutorial for NS-3.9 and probably you are using a later version of NS-3. 

Please refer to the corresponding tutorial with the NS-3 version you are using.

[Tommaso Pecorella]

Hi,

back the days (I don't remember when, but it was a lot of releases ago) the modules structure got a huge refactoring. As a matter of fact, 3.9 is pre-refactoring.

Nothing was thrown in the bin, but stuff was moved around to make things more logical.

As an example, in 3.9 you had to include a "code-module.h" and a "simulator-module.h". Illogical, since the simulator *is* a core function. Now they're both in the core module.

Another quite visible feature was the removal of "helpers module". Now the helpers are included into the module they belong to. So the core helpers are in the core module, the wii helpers in the wifi module, and so on.

That's the historical part. About your question, I agree with Kostantinos. Please use the 3.19 tutorial and manual, since it seems you're using 3.19.

Happy New Year,

T.
