Build failed when running "./waf"

[Zakaria55]

Hi every one,

I am installing ndnSIM and I get this message when I run "./waf"

Could you help me, please?
My best regards.

Which platform / compiler are you using?

[Zakaria55]

Thanks for your reply. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

[cawka]

I suggest you upgrade to at least 18.04. 16.04 has a bit too old compiler (or get a newer compiler, either clang or gcc, if you really don't want the upgrade).

[Zakaria55]

How to get a newer compiler? I am afraid that upgrading will affect my project.

[cawka]

You can try to follow these https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-how-to-install-gcc-7-or-clang-4-0/

[Zakaria55]

Ok, I'll try. Thanks a lot.

[Zakaria55]

I have installed the gcc 7 and I now I get this error:

Cannot say, really. This looks like gcc issue (or you don't have enough memory on your linux box / VM). You could try compiling slower with ./waf -j1

[Zakaria55]

Thanks, Alex. I have checked the space and I found 9 GB left. I think it is enough, so I tried with ./waf -j1 and it worked.

I have a question, please: does the last release of ndnSIM use the last release of ns-3? If not, how can we update the ns-3 version installed with ndnSIM?
