How to download

The ns-3 package is available for download using mercurial using the command below

hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/jabraham3/ns-3-win2

How to build

Open the solution file "ns-3-win2/windows/ns-3-dev/ns-3-dev.sln" using Visual Studio 2012. After all the projects are loaded do the following:

  • From the menu click "Build" --> "Build Solution"

If all goes we should see a build log similar to the below

1>  main.vcxproj -> C:\ws\test\ns-3-win2\windows\ns-3-dev\Debug\main.exe
========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 34 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Running the main program

The "main" project is set as the "Startup" project. The "Startup" project contains the program with the 'main' function. The main project is set to run "third.cc". The executable can be run from the command-prompt by

C:\>cd windows\ns-3-dev\Debug
..Debug>main.exe
