Errata against ns-3.25 release
With Python enabled, python version 3.5 or greater, the Python bindings will not compile without an error such as:
src/fd-net-device/bindings/ns3module.cc:2078:1: error: invalid conversion from ‘cmpfunc {aka void*}’ to ‘PyAsyncMethods*’ [-fpermissive]
The problem is described more fully here: https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2395
This problem has been observed on Archlinux and Ubuntu 16.04 release.
To workaround, choose one of the following options:
1) disable python if not needed:
./waf configure --disable-python ...
2) On Ubuntu 16.04, download python and python-dev to obtain python2 version
sudo apt-get install python python-dev
On Ubuntu 16.04, this will cause python2 to be invoked when the user types 'python'.
3) run a python2 virtualenv (if python3 is still selected by default) or run the waf commands through python2; e.g.:
python2 ./waf configure ... python2 ./waf build
4) manually patch your pybindgen according to this patch
