Template for running simulation scenarios in ndnSIM

ndn-simple-mpi.cpp compilation fails because NS3_MPI not enabled

I compiled ns3 with MPI enabled. I can run ndn-simple-mpi from original installation directory of ns3 and ndnSIM. Now I am trying to run the same scenario by placing it under scenarios directory of this template repository but it is failing with the following error.

[1/2] Compiling scenarios/ndn-simple-mpi.cpp
../scenarios/ndn-simple-mpi.cpp:31:2: error: #error "ndn-simple-mpi scenario can be compiled only if NS3_MPI is enabled"
 #error "ndn-simple-mpi scenario can be compiled only if NS3_MPI is enabled"
  ^~~~~

I took all the steps for installation and ran sudo ./waf install after compiling ns3 and ndnSIM. I could run other non mpi examples by placing them under this repo. Can you please suggest on what could be going wrong?

waf searches for wrong ns-3 libs

Hello,

using this scenario template with ndnSIM 2.8 (ns-3.30.1) and running waf configure I ran into an error.

$ ./waf configure

NS-3 needs to be compiled and installed somewhere.  You may need also to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable in order for configure find installed NS-3.
For example:
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH ./waf configure

(complete log in /home/ndn/simulation/build/config.log)

Then I inspected config.log:

$ cat build/config.log
[...]
Checking for ns3-core
['/usr/bin/pkg-config', '--cflags', '--libs', 'libns3-dev-core-optimized']
err: Package libns3-dev-core-optimized was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libns3-dev-core-optimized.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libns3-dev-core-optimized' found

not found
from /home/ndn/simulation: The configuration failed

Using PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable option didn't help.

I investigated more and observed that filenames are different!
Since ndnSIM 2.8 (ns-3.30.1) the compiled files have the following prefix

libns3.30.1-

But in the older versions (like ndnSIM 2.7 which is based on ns-3.29) the compiled files were following the prefix searched by waf:

libns3-dev-

I also tried to run a simulation example directly into the ns-3 folder and it works, so I guess this is the problem.

If needed, I can post here build logs, you tell me.

I installed ndnSIM as described into ndnsim.net.

Debug info:

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• ndnSIM version: 2.8
• ns-3 version 3.30.1

StrategyChoiceHelper Module

I have tried running the ndn-simple scenario from a separate scenario folder using the template (as opposed to the examples folder) to get started and am getting the following error:

‘ns3::ndn::StrategyChoiceHelper’ has not been declared

I am running it using:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./waf --run ndn-simple

Is there any reason why the StrategyChoiceHelper module is not recognized?
