[SOLVED] Compiling errors from ns3, should I file a bug report?

jethronsun7 · 2017-07-29 18:19:26

Hi,

I just adopt the ns3 AUR package and am trying to fix it and then upgrade the version. A problem I encountered is that the compiling failed and I saw something about file a bug report. Should I go ahead and do it let the upstream take care of it or dig into it a little more? The last part of the log goes:

It happened to the old version ns3 too. The new PKGBUILD I am working on goes: https://github.com/shwsun/pkgbuilds/blo … 3/PKGBUILD
Note that pygoocanvas is breaking thus to build it you will need https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dnut/ … s/PKGBUILD

Any thoughts?

Please use code tags for terminal output. It helps with readability. Thanks.

jethronsun7 · 2017-07-29 22:03:41

Did it. thank you for the advice

It failto build in a clean chroot too?

jethronsun7 · 2017-07-30 03:28:42

Yes, the current the ns3 is breaking and I am simply trying to fix it.

Those look like the kind of errors you get when running a python3 program with python2 .

The AUR ns3 package has version 3.25-1 , but ns3 3.26 was released on oct 2016 .\

Are you trying to build ns3 3.26 ?
If so, please post your WIP PKGBUILD .
If not, is there a good reason to stay with 3.25 ?

Regardless of version, check the upstrem provided waf.

Hi all,

Thanks for all your advice. I figured out that the error is because ns3 requires at least 2G memory o/w it will throw these compiling error msgs. I have published the newest version, you can take a look if interested:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ns3/

I am glad that I dont have to file a bug report and bug those developers

The PKGBUILD has some weird stuff :

It looks like there are several build processes that run in prepare() function , openflow + click + brite + nsc .
Makes me wonder if those shouldn't be separate packages .

The dependencies .
cmake, cvs and bzr don't look like they're used.
Are unzip and 7zip really needed for ns3 ?
gdb and valgrind are usually meant for debugging / troubleshooting . I'd more expect them as makedepends and optdepends .
boost and boost-libs : usually boost is makedepend, boost-libs normal depend.
