Build of ns-3.7-allinone failed. Traceback log below.

build.py or ns-3.7/waf configure produce the same result.

Looking at .waf-<blah>/wafadmin/Scripting.py, there are a lot
of unescaped quotes (though \escaping them doesn't help), and
several different quoting styles in use for error messages.
Emacs is also showing me \033 round an error message...

puzzled,

L.

Subject: [Ns-developers] NS-3.7 released
 
Release 3.7
===========

Availability
------------
This release is immediately available from:
http://www.nsnam.org/releases/ns-allinone-3.7.tar.bz2

Supported platforms
-------------------
ns-3.7 has been tested on the following platforms:
  - linux x86 gcc 4.4.0, 4.3.2, 4.2, 4.1.1, 4.1 and 3.4.6 (debug and 
optimized)
  - linux x86_64 gcc 4.4.0, 4.3.2, 4.2.4, 4.2.3, 4.2.1, 4.1.3, 3.4.6 
(debug and optimized)
  - MacOS X ppc gcc 4.0.x and 4.2.x (debug and optimized)
  - cygwin gcc 3.4.4 (debug only), gcc 4.3.2 (debug and optimized)

Unofficially supported platform
-------------------
- mingw gcc 3.4.5 (debug only)

Not all ns-3 options are available on all platforms; consult the
wiki for more information:
http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/Installation

New user-visible features
-------------------------

  a) Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing model (RFC 3561)

  b) IPv6 extensions support to add IPv6 extensions and options.  Two
     examples (fragmentation and loose routing) are available.

  c) NetAnim interface: Provides an interface to the Qt-based NetAnim
     animator, which supports static, point-to-point topology-based
     packet animations.

  d) New topology helpers have been introduced
     - PointToPointDumbbellHelper
     - PointToPointGridHelper
     - PointToPointStarHelper
     - CsmaStarHelper

  e) Equal-cost multipath for global routing: Enables quagga's equal
     cost multipath for Ipv4GlobalRouting, and adds an attribute that
     can enable it with random packet distribution policy across
     equal cost routes.

  f) Binding sockets to devices:  A method analogous to a SO_BINDTODEVICE
     socket option has been introduced to class Socket

  g) Object::DoStart: Users who need to complete their object setup at
     the start of a simulation can override this virtual method, perform 
their
     adhoc setup, and then, must chain up to their parent.

  h) Ipv4::IsDestinationAddress method added to support checks of whether a
     destination address should be accepted as one of the host's own
     addresses.  

  i) UniformDiscPositionAllocator added; distributes uniformly the nodes
     within a disc of given radius.

  j) ChannelNumber attribute added to YansWifiPhy. Now it is possible to
     setup wifi channel using WifiPhyHelper::Set() method.

  k) WaypointMobilityModel provides a method to add mobility as a set of
     (time, position) pairs

  l) 802.11p WiFi standards
 
  m) UDP Client/Server application

  n) Support transactions in the SQLite output interface, making it 
usable for larger amounts of data

API changes from ns-3.6
