Dear brothers.

I am new to Omnet++. I am intending to install oversim on Omnet++ which requires INET to be installed before. I am encountering the following error after "make" command in shell. I am trying to install latest version of INET on Windows 10.

applications/ethernet/EtherAppCli.cc

In file included from applications/ethernet/EtherAppCli.cc:21:

applications/ethernet/EtherAppCli.h:21:10: fatal error: 'INETDefs.h' file not found

#include "INETDefs.h"

^~~~~~~~~~~~

1 error generated.

make[1]: *** [Makefile:480: ../out/clang-release/src/applications/ethernet/EtherAppCli.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory '/d/sim/inet/src'

make: *** [Makefile:2: all] Error 2

Kindly help me as I wasted previous two weeks to solve this problem but failed.

You should probably use the older OMNeT and INET versions that the Oversim installation manual (http://www.oversim.org/wiki/OverSimInstall) requires.
Newer versions of INET / OMNeT will not work with Oversim.

On a side-node, when you try to build any OMNeT project from the console/shell, make sure that you use the mingw.cmd environment under Windows and that all the necessary paths and parameters (e.g., include paths) are set correctly for the make command. Better build projects from the OMNeT Eclipse IDE if you do not know what you are doing.

Thanks a lot Michael. I am shifted to Ubuntu platform from windows now. I have installed Omnet ++ 4-2-2 alongwith INET and Oversim through shell as per your directions. but when I try to load INET and Oversim through Eclipse IDE, the message "C/C++ index encountered error" appeared. Kindly help me regarding this error.

Thanks a lot for your valueable help

You mean the OMNeT Eclipse IDE displays this error or a normal Eclipse installation?
Did you look online for the error message and possible solutions?
When does the error occur?
