In ns-3, can ./waf --run a code in a nested folder more than two levels of folder?

3 and hope this question is not too stupid... I'm recently using ns-3 and try to compile the codes. I found that I don't need to explicitly specify compilation, instead, using

./waf --run someCode.cc

will first compile and code and then execute it. My question is, I'm trying to compile/run the code in a deeper folder. To be precise, I want to execute one example code located in

<ns-3.22>/src/lte/example/lena-simple-epc.cc

but when I enter

./waf --run src/lte/example/lena-simple-epc

I just got the following message:

Waf: Entering directory `..../ns-allinone-3.22/ns-3.22/build'
program 'src/lte/examples/lena-simple-epc' not found; available programs are: [...]

But, if I copy the file src/lte/examples/lena-simple-epc.cc under the folder scratch and execute ./waf --run scratch/lena-simple-epc, then it works perfectly. Is this expected or did I miss any step? (Forgot to export some environment variables or something?)

You don't need to specify all the path!

Just run:

./waf --run lena-simple-epc

If you are not secure on how to start a script just look at the wscript file in the examples folder and look for these rows.

obj = bld.create_ns3_program('lena-simple-epc',
                             ['lte'])
obj.source = 'lena-simple-epc.cc'

With lena-simple-epc you can start the script.
