Integrating ns3 with Qt

asif

Hi,
I am currently working on a project for which i have created two project files in IDE Netbeans.one is using the ns3, a c/c++ application project and second one is Qt application project used for GUI purpose.I need to integrate them together or in simple words i want to call a function which is there in QT application project from a c/c++ application project.

can anybody help me how to do that???thanks in advance for your help.

I have resolved that issue after spending some time.I am providing the solution so that it can be helpful to save time:

In order to integrate ns3 and Qt, I;
1)-created the dynamic library of the code written in Qt using IDE netbeans.
2)-In order to link and use that library I place the header file in the build/project folder so that I can use it easily.After that to link the dynamic library in ns3, I added following lines in the script file:

module.ccflags=['-wall','-O3']
module.lib=['QDynLib']
module.libpath=['/home/a/Documents/ns-allinone-3.16/ns-3.16/src/propagation/QDynLib/dist/Debug/GNU-Linux-x86']
module.linkflag=['-g'] #module.install_path=['/home/a/Documents/ns-allinone-3.16/ns-3.16/src/propagation/QDynLib/dist/Debug/GNU-Linux-x86']
module.rpath=['/home/a/Documents/ns-allinone-3.16/ns-3.16/src/propagation/QDynLib/dist/Debug/GNU-Linux-x86']

Here,I used the absolute path to locate the dynamic library.

Location of the Dynamic library;
/home/a/Documents/ns-allinone-3.16/ns-3.16/src/propagation/QDynLib/dist/Debug/GNU-Linux-x86/
Name of the library File:
libQDynLib.so

Here is .pro format for NS3 integration(for anyone else in future):

TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console c++11
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt
 
NS_BUILD_DIR = <path-to-ns3>/ns-3.26/build
 
LIBS += -L$$NS_BUILD_DIR
INCLUDEPATH += $$NS_BUILD_DIR
 
unix {
    SHARED_LIB_FILES = $$files($$NS_BUILD_DIR/*.so)
    for(FILE, SHARED_LIB_FILES) {
        BASENAME = $$basename(FILE)
        CLEARNAME = $$replace(BASENAME,libns,ns)
        CLEARNAME = $$replace(CLEARNAME,.so,)
        LIBS += -l$$CLEARNAME
    }
}
 
SOURCES += main.cpp
