Description Thierry Turletti 2008-08-29 05:09:34 UTC
waf configure outputs 2 warnings:

Checking for Python module pybindgen                                     : not found 
WARNING <wscript> pybindgen missing
Checking for program bzr                                                 : not found 
WARNING <wscript> the program 'bzr' is needed in order to fetch pybindgen
          
Then of course waf check bypasses Python binding tests

-- Skipping NS-3 Python bindings unit tests: Python bindings not enabled.

But what did you expect, give an error instead of warning?  That would make Python bindings non-optional...

No, warnings are fine. I followed the NS-3 tutorial to compile on MAC OSX and I wondered what I missed not to be able to use python bindings, that's all :-)

this is really the expected behavior. gustavo: maybe you could add a link to the bzr webpage in the warning message.
