Does OpenNet support ubuntu 16? #103

Open Maryam-mary-karimi opened 7 years ago

Maryam-mary-karimi commented 7 years ago

I want to upgrade my operating system to ubuntu 16 but I really need OpenNet and I use it alot. I wanted to know if I can still use OpenNet if I upgrade my OS? thank you very much

kansokusha commented 7 years ago

OpenNet currently only works on Ubuntu 14.04. Because there are two issues for OpenNet on 16.04:

  1. Ansible is not stable on Ubuntu 16.04, causes installation may not success every time.
  2. gccxml does not compatible with GCC > 4.9, gccxml will encounter compile error and run-time error on Ubuntu 16.04. NS-3 has planned to replace gccxml with castxml [1], but the replacement have not been completed.

[1] gccxml not compatible with gcc versions 5 or 6

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. Could you please inform us if at any time it changes and get compatible with ubuntu16? Best Regards

As we update to Ubuntu 16.04, we will upload commit and revise README.md.

I've read that they replaced gccxml with castxml in NS3. I wanted to ask if OpenNet can't be installed in Ubuntu 16 yet?

I am also very interested in OpenNet installation on Ubuntu 16. So once the NS-3 on Ubuntu 16 has been done, OpenNet on Ubuntu 16 will be available, right?

I don't see a reason why these can't be done as long as the issues mentioned by @kansokusha are addressed. Unfortunately, we (as the original authors) don't have a plan to make the upgrade. If anyone from the open source community eager to use 16.04 and want to give it a try, I will be happy to review and merge the code. Thanks.
