<p>ns-3.25 errata</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{TOC}}<br /> <br /> == Errata against ns-3.25 release ==<br /> <br /> With Python enabled, python version 3.5 or greater, the Python bindings will not compile without an error such as:<br /> <br /> src/fd-net-device/bindings/ns3module.cc:2078:1: error: invalid conversion from ‘cmpfunc {aka void*}’ to ‘PyAsyncMethods*’ [-fpermissive]<br /> <br /> The problem is described more fully here: https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2395<br /> <br /> This problem has been observed on Archlinux and Ubuntu 16.04 release.<br /> <br /> To workaround, choose one of the following options:<br /> <br /> 1) disable python if not needed:<br /> <br /> ./waf configure --disable-python ...<br /> <br /> 2) On Ubuntu 16.04, download python and python-dev to obtain python2 version<br /> <br /> sudo apt-get install python python-dev<br /> <br /> On Ubuntu 16.04, this will cause python2 to be invoked when the user types 'python'.<br /> <br /> 3) run a python2 virtualenv (if python3 is still selected by default) or run the waf commands through python2; e.g.:<br /> <br /> python2 ./waf configure ...<br /> python2 ./waf build<br /> <br /> 4) manually patch your pybindgen according to [https://github.com/gjcarneiro/pybindgen/commit/ec55eb61103a647dc2d6a5ff725b6324e240aa7b this patch]</div>
