Trouble with compilation on Ubuntu 14.04

[Pietro Piscione]

Dear Omnet,

I've download the version 4.5 of your software in my laptop which has 
Ubuntu 14.04 such as O.S.
I've contacted you 'cause I've some trouble with the compilation of Your 
product.

When I compile Omnet with the make command I've this following error:

|make MODE=release
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/p3/Omnet422/omnetpp-4.2.2'
***** Configuration: MODE=release, TOOLCHAIN_NAME=gcc, LIB_SUFFIX=.so ****
===== Checking environment =====
mkdir -p /home/p3/Omnet422/omnetpp-4.2.2/bin

abspath.cc:63:38: error: ‘getcwd’ was not declared in this scope
      return std::string(getcwd(wd,1024)) + "/" + pathname; //XXX 
results in double slash if wd is the root
                                       ^
make[2]: ***

make[1]: *** [utils] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/p3/Omnet422/omnetpp-4.2.2'
make: *** [allmodes] Error 2


I've searched on the Internet the possible solution and I found that the 
function getcwd in abspath.cc file is deprecated for security reason in 
the version 14.04 of Ubuntu. I've found this information at this link: 
http://linux.die.net/man/3/getcwd.
How can I resolve the problem ?

Thanks for your time.
Regards.

Hi there

I am not professional in omnet. I tried Omnet on ubuntu12, kali , and backtrack, I did not have any problem, becuase I followed the instruction in this file:

http://omnetpp.org/doc/omnetpp/InstallGuide.pdf

did  u consider that?

Good luck

Cheers

Yes, it was the first way that I consider to install Omnet.

Use OMNeT++ 4.5 or (4.5RC). 

The version you are trying to use is at least 3 years old. The header file organization had changed a lot since then. older versions of OMNeT are no longer compatible with newer versions GCC.

Understood. Hence, which version do I download ?

I thought the 4.5 version was the newest.

I also thought you are using 4.5 but as Rudolf mentioned you are using an old version, I think you are not installing 4.5, you are installing 4.2.2

Please check this line in the log that you provided "/home/p3/Omnet422/omnetpp-4.2.2"

and for getting the latest version plz see
