Installation problem omnet++ 4.2

[thomass]

Hi,

I need really help with installation please.

I can´t start installation. When I write command "make" nothing
happened.
Does anybody know what is the problem?


Welcome to OMNeT++ 4.2!

Type "./configure" and "make" to build the simulation libraries.

When done, type "omnetpp" to start the IDE.

Hi,
Are you working under Windows or Linux?

Under Windows 7 Professional 64bit. I installed omnet++ before and no
problem with installation (same pc). But after several weeks I have to
reinstall it. So I deleted omnet a started installation again. But it
doesn´t work second time. And what is really strange that my antivirus
(AVG Internet security 2011) found trojan horse generic26.APKF in
omnetpp-4.2\msys\bin\sh.exe. I downloaded the zip package from
omnetpp.org today.

Hi,

I had a similar problem. Try to deactivate your Antivirus during the installation procedure.

Hi!

Check the md5-hash of the downloaded zip prior to de-activating your
anti-virus software! Maybe it is corrupt.

build omnet++4.2 into another directory ... it's better if you build
it into C drive directly .
I think that it is a directory conflict ..
no need to deactivate any anti-virus programs , I installed omnetpp4.2
into Win7 64-bit different times on the same machine , and I have
Kaspersky Internet security 2011 on and running ....

execute the script mingwenv.cmd

hi,
I have AVG antivirus, and when I tried to install omnet++ 4.2.2 win32 I had the same antivius Messages of having trojans in the installation programs.  I've changed the directory of installation but the same result.
when I installed omnet++ 4.1 no antivirus errors were shown and installation worked usually.

I hope that omnetpp team can handle that issue.

thanks

Hi, 

it is common that anti virus programs report false positives for the Win32 installer. The reason is that the installer contains binaries that were built with the MINGW compiler. Most AV package does heuristical analysis i.e. they try to understand the code itself, but they are prepared to deal only with binaries that were build with microsoft compiler. They are clueless with MINGW binaries so they just throw an error... The issues are mostly with the build in MSYS tools. If you wish, you can submit the executables to the AV vendor and they will analyse and whitelist them.

Extract to some other folder, it should work

I had this same issue when attempting to install OMNET++ 5.6.1 today. I was attempting to install it onto Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

My issue was that I was following the Linux instructions on the install guide. But, before you do that (before you run `./configure` and `make`), the instructions in chapter 4.2 say:

See the chapter specific to your Linux distribution for instructions on installing the packages needed by OMNeT++.

So I then went to chapter 5 and ran the Ubuntu instructions to install the prerequisite packages. After I installed the prerequisite packages, I was able to run `./configure` and `make` successfully.
