Problem to installin Omnet 4.0p1 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Ganesh]

Good morning,
 I try to install Omnet 4.0p1 on Ubuntu 12.04 (kernel 3.2.0-43-generic) but I receive the following error (when I try to do make):
  "sim_std_m.cc: In member function ‘virtual void* cDensityEstBaseDescriptor::getFieldStructPointer(void*, int, int) const’: sim_std_m.cc:5610:51: error: taking address of temporary [-fpermissive]".
 
 Can anyone help me?
 Thanks.

   Anymore, I try to "install" Omnet 4.2.2 (on the same Ubuntu and kernel) and when I do make, I don't receive the same error.
   Why? What change?
  Thanks.

OMNeT++ :) Obviously you have installed 4.2 which is almost 3 years older than 4.0.

As for the issues, you are seeing the problem with 4.0 because you are trying to compile it with a much newer version of gcc than 4.0 was tested with. 

You can: 

- use an older version of ubuntu with omnet 4.0

- use a never version of omnet (4.3)

- or fix the compile errors in the omnet source

 

  Thanks.
