Veins Tutorial GUI example

[Anas]

Hi,

I was able to install veins on my MacOSx.

Finally, when running the example, I could not see the map GUI as shown in the tutorial. 

I also tried the other example traci_launchd, but I also cannot see any map.

I am wondering what the problem is. I tired replacing sumo with sumo-gui, but the whole thing froze.

Sincerely,

Anas

I'll be happy to help.

First of all, please make sure you've read through and followed the
Veins tutorial closely. If you need help with the tutorial, make sure to
state which steps worked and which step is giving you problems. If you
need help with more advanced topics, please make sure to mention that
you were able to follow the tutorial.

Please follow this with an exact list of steps to reproduce the problem,
given an (almost) blank computer. This list will likely include which
versions of OMNeT++, SUMO, Veins, or other software to download and
where to install them. Be aware that, during the development of Veins,
various parts and versions of its components have been copied into other
model libraries and frameworks. If you are using one of these instead of
Veins, please give the name and version of the framework you are using.
Finally, if you are experiencing a crash, make sure you include the
actual error message from the debug logs (see next question).

Include all of the above information in an email to either the OMNeT++
or the SUMO users mailing list. Both lists will send your message to us,
as well as thousands of fellow researchers, so please demostrate that
you made an honest effort to solve the problem before sending your
message. Feel free to link to screen shots or movies, but please do not
attach them to your message.

Best,

Christoph

Hi,

i have exactly the same problem. I'm using Windows 7 with Omnet 4.2, sumo 0.15.0 and veins 2.0-rc2 like it is wirtten in the tutorial.

Every 5 steps works fine, only the last step doesn't.

When i start omnetpp.ini in the IDE, i get this in MinGW:

Welcome to OMNeT++ 4.2!

and omnet opens the simulation windwo like this: http://s14.directupload.net/file/d/3054/7g3eerj4_jpg.htm

and the sumo window doesn't open...

Can you help me?

PS: thanks for this lots of work you did with this  ;-)

This will only work if sumo.exe is in your search path. Otherwise, you
will have to tell sumo-launchd.py the complete path to sumo.exe, like so:

/c/Users/user/src/veins-2.0-rc2/sumo-launchd.py -vv -c
/c/Users/user/src/sumo-0.15.0/bin/sumo.exe

/c/Users/user/src/sumo-0.15.0/bin/sumo.exe

I have it in my path and it's the same, if i write the complete comand :/

[Luise]

 There also are a lot of warnigs in the omnetpp.ini data like this http://s14.directupload.net/file/d/3054/3pq9cwnj_png.htm

is it normal?

[David Eckhoff]

Hello Luise,

These warnings are normal, because at the time omnetpp checks your
omnetpp.ini the nodes do not exit yet, as they are created during the
simulation.

You're starting sumo.exe which is the command line version of sumo. If
you want the gui (which shows the map and vehicles) to be opened you
have to choose sumo-gui.exe.

Greetings,
David

Hi

thank you!
Last night I figured already out that this screenshots in the tutorial are made in debug mode ;-)
so everything works like it should be and the hint with the gui also works quite good and is really helpful because it is much faster than the debug mode and i need to see the roads for my stuff, too!

regards
Luise

Hi Anas, I would like to know if you can write what commands you used to install VEINS on MacOSX. Thank you

[Izaz Ahmad Khan]

Dear Sir,

 Can you please tell me how can we bring the sumo.exe to our search path?

Regards

Azaz

[Christoph Sommer]

Dear Azaz,

how to change the search path depends on your operating system and its
version and should be documented in its user manual. If you are looking
for online help on how to configure your operating system, I can only
point you to tutorials on the world wide web.

For example, to change the search path in windows, you could try
searching for "how to change search path in windows". For me, the first
3 hits on Google are all valid solutions.

Best,

Christoph
