Bug 1725

does including "wimax-net-device.h" in animation-interface.cc resolve this?  There is a runtime dependency on this due to the callbacks.

It is very similar to the problem discussed in 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ns-3-users/j3eg1cFx8Qo

I haven't got working cygwin setup with me , to test Tom's theory but to me it look waf related, as we already have wimax on the dependency list

module = bld.create_ns3_module ('netanim', ['internet', 'mobility', 'wimax', 'wifi', 'csma', 'lte', 'uan'])

I tested my idea on Cygwin earlier today-- didn't work.  The problem is that the type id is not being registered for some reason.  I can look at this some more over the next day or two.

There are a few other Cygwin problems with ns-3.17, the fd-net-device wscript one that Vedran recently fixed, and matrix-topology.cc is not compiling for me.

John, any progress or more info on this?

Unfortunately, I am unable to even get past compilation issues

Can you try adding the following statements.

BaseStationNetDevice b;
SubscriberStationNetDevice s;
CsmaNetDevice c;
UanNetDevice u;

to the constructor "AnimationInterface"

BaseStationNetDevice b;
SubscriberStationNetDevice s;
CsmaNetDevice c;
UanNetDevice u;

NS_UNUSED(b);
NS_UNUSED(s);
NS_UNUSED(c);
NS_UNUSED(u);

Works. But, no offense intended, this is not quite the nicest fix.

Yeah but it has nothing to do with netanim.
Unless wad is better documented we need workarounds

At the moment, Alex and I are sort of maintainers for waf. What needs to be done, what is the issue exactly?

1. I don't have working Cygwin setup. ns-3 never compiles due to various compilation warnings.
2. We need to understand why the static/global variables of certain modules mentioned in the wscript are not linked ,


as mentioned earlier, something like:

module = bld.create_ns3_module ('netanim', ['internet', 'mobility', 'wimax',
'wifi', 'csma', 'lte', 'uan'])
I thought is sufficient to link modules such as Wimax, but apparently NS_LOG_COMPONENT_DEFINE ("WimaxNetDevice"); is not getting executed. I have seen this in the Visual Studio Environment years back, in which case we force the creation of at least one variable of type WimaxNetDevice to ensure all the static/global variables are initialized.
