DCE installiation with exisitng ns3.27

[ranimRR]

• ns3 version (cat $NS3FOLDER/VERSION or the commit hash):ns3.27

• DCE version (git log|head -n1): 1.9

• Operating system/version (lsb_release -a): Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

• Libc version (ldd -v): (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.23-0ubuntu10) 2.23

• compiler version (gcc -v/g++ -v/clang -v/clang++ -v): gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9)

Description of the problem

I already have ns3.27 and I want to execute DCE codes but I am not sure what is the correct way to add DCE wirh existing n3.27. I tried multiple methods but it seems that they are not working

Method I tried:

cd ns3/ns-allinone-3.27/ns-3.27/

./waf configure --enable-examples -d optimized --prefix=$HOME/dce/build \ --includedir=$HOME/dce/include/ns-3.27

There are links towards documentation at https://github.com/direct-code-execution/ns-3-dce, for instance https://www.nsnam.org/docs/dce/manual/html/getting-started.html . What doesn't work there ?

[ranimRR]

@teto Thank you for your help. Bake only installed ns3.26 and I have to use ns3.27. The instructions with WAF are not clear to me. I tried to put net-next-sim and ns-3-dce in the src folder of ns3.27 and execute WAF in the ns-3-dce and ns3.27 but it did not work.

You can have a look at the different targets of bake to install dce + linux in the bakeconf.xml, for instance look at https://github.com/direct-code-execution/bake/blob/827bf0ab4318ce487539da87d73264fae2b3fbb1/bakeconf.xml#L2521

Hello, I have the same problem, any one have a solution for that ?

[teto]

you should install ns-3 with ./waf install and the set the install path through ./waf configure --with-ns3=/path/to/ns3/installation

[EngKhaled91]

thanks @teto , I've installed ns3 using bake and build it successfully using ./waf, and add --with-ns3 parameter when configuring dce but I got configuration failed like this: you mean path installation the folder that contains waf files ?

[teto]

you should set a value for --with-ns3: what's your full command line ? look in the log to see what is the failure.

[EngKhaled91]

my command is "./waf configure --with-ns3=/home/kh91/ns3-mmwave-2.0" and this the path of my ns3 folder where waf located. my log where the problem occurs: thanks alot
