==== IDE Integration ====
For a new Mac (OS X 10.5.2 Intel), here are
* [[HOWTO configure Eclipse with ns-3]]
the (quite painless) steps I used to get an ns-3 development environment up
* [[HOWTO configure NetBeans with ns-3]]
and running, clone, compile, and unit and regression test ns-3-dev. 
* [[HOWTO configure QtCreator with ns-3]]


1.  Join Apple Developer Connection (for free ­ internet user);
=== Debugging-Related Items ===
    a.  Go to http://developer.apple.com/products/
* [[HOWTO use NS_LOG to find a problem]]
    b.  Select Join ADC Online Membership
* [[HOWTO use gdb to debug program errors]]
    c.  Log in with Apple ID
* [[HOWTO understand and find cause of terminated with signal errors]]
    d.  Fill out Become an ADC Member form
* [[HOWTO debug smart pointer | HOWTO debug smart pointers and packet pointers]]
    e.  Tell them what kind of code you develop
* [[HOWTO use Valgrind to debug memory problems]]
    f.  You are redirected to Developer Connection | Member Site
* [[HOWTO resolve circular references in ns-3 memory disposal]]
2.  Download XCode for your OS (3.0 for Leopard at writing) Disk Image;
* [[HOWTO build old versions of ns-3 on newer compilers]]
    a.  From Developer Connection | Member Site select Downloads, get
* [[HOWTO use oprofile]] to profile your ns-3 program
        directed to What¹s New
* [[HOWTO use latest gcc release]] to test ns-3 compatibility
    b.  Select Developer Tools from Downloads list
    c.  Scroll down to XCode releases and select a Disk Image
    d.  Be prepared for over 1GB download ~1/2 hour on 6mbps cable
3.  Install the Xcode Tools
    a.  Double-clock on XcodeTools.mpkg
    b.  Perform Standard Install
    c.  Open a terminal
    d.  Type gcc and see something like
        Bash 3.2$ gcc
        i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: no input files
        bash-3.2$
4.  Install Mercurial
    a.  Go to http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/Download
    b.  Select the Binary Package option
    c.  Select Mac OS X
    d.  Select Mercurial 1.0 for OS X 10.5 (if appropriate)
    e.  Double-click  on package and follow instructions.
    f.  Execute command
        which hg
        in terminal or xterm
    g.  If no hg listed, you may have to add /usr/local/bin to your
        path, e.g. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
5.  Clone ns-3-dev
    a.  mkdir repos;cd !$
    b.  hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3-dev
6.  Build ns-3-dev
    a.  cd ns-3-dev
    b.  ./waf configure ­d debug
    c.  ./waf
7.  Run Unit Tests
    a. ./waf check
8.  Run Regression Tests
    a. ./waf --regression
