Tom, as you wrote: There isn't any facility for automatically skipping optional libraries (such as labeling certain modules to "build if you can but skip if you run into problems") That's a bug. Either: - it's a separate bug from Bug 746, which you decided was on configuring the build and which you wanted to mark resolved, so I opened this Bug 1245, in which case dup'ing bug 1245 to bug 746 would be wrong. or - if you're reopening 746 because it's not resolved because ns-3 can't build because it insists on trying to build unneeded components, I'm fine with keeping Bug 746 open.

It's debatable whether this is a bug or an enhancement (this is for supporting systems with incomplete library installations), but there is no point arguing that out since I agree that we ought to try to improve the system as you suggested since Mac users will encounter this. > > Either: > - it's a separate bug from Bug 746, which you decided was on configuring the > build and which you wanted to mark resolved, so I opened this Bug 1245, in > which case dup'ing bug 1245 to bug 746 would be wrong. > or > - if you're reopening 746 because it's not resolved because ns-3 can't build > because it insists on trying to build unneeded components, I'm fine with > keeping Bug 746 open. I kept 756 open, and renamed the title to accurately reflect the current topic, so I think it is safe to keep this closed as a duplicate. |
