Hello,

I'm trying to install FLoRa, but I get the following linker errors:

"make MODE=debug all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete.

13:15:11 Build Failed. 2 errors, 314 warnings. (took 51s.525ms)

I'm using OMNET++ 6 pre 12 in Windows. I've checked that FloRa has a project reference to INET 4.3. The latter builds and runs without problems.
Do you have an ideia about what might be happening?
By the way, I’ve tried to install FloRa both from the Help menu in OMNET++, and by downloading the package. The result is the same.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
António Grilo

I have included the Flora code in inetmanet, if you have problems, you can use inetmanet with the latest 6.0-pre version

Hello Alfonso,

I have tried to install INETMANET, but even this gives errors. I'm sending the console output in the attached file. Despite this, I have tried running the examples, but this also fails. For example, when I run the hosttohost example, a dialog appears with inconsistency warnings of the style: "Clock: Feature is enabled but folder /inetmanet-4.x-master/src/inet/applications/clock is excluded from C++ build in at least one configuration". Then the simulator canvas opens. When I run the simulation, I get the following error: "check_and_cast(): Cannot cast (inet::Request*)LLC_OPEN to type 'inet::Packet * -- in module (inet::OmnittedIeee802dQoSClassifier)', etc."
As to FLoRa, the project has an error mark in examples/flora, and the examples don't run (e.g., LoRaNetworkTest.ned not found).
Do you know what might be happening?

 Since linker errors in your Windows environment, therefore, using a virtual machine with a Linux instance installed is suggested.

Dear Mahmood ,
Yes, that is a possibility. But since OMNET++ is supposed to be supported in Windows, it would be a pity not to solve those issues. In case I'm unable to solve this, I will surely use a virtual machine.
Regards,
António

I am using omnet++ Version: 6.0pre12, Build id: 210727-c1ec2ec2fa with linux

And the latest version of code from
https://github.com/aarizaq/inetmanet-4.x
The INET framework is an open-source communication networks simulation package, written for the OMNEST/OMNeT++ simulation system. The INET framework contains models for numerous wired and wireless protocols, a detailed physical layer model, application models and more. See the CREDITS file for the ...
I have built the framework directly from the IDE and I can not reproduce the problem. The libraries libINET_dbg.so and libINET.so are created without problems

Alfonso,

The problem has to do with MS Windows compatibility. Right now, INET is compatible, but INETMANET is not.

António

I have just fixed the node formats of the lora nodes, Inet has changed in the latest version the format of the nodes and I have not actualized the Lora nodes. Now you can run the example, at least in Linux, I will check in windows.

Hi FLoRa users,

For simplicity,   FLoRa installation in Windows and Linux are briefly described in the following two videos, respectively.

In the following link for the first video: How to install FLoRa (OMNeT++ 6.0 pre 12) on Windows.

In the following for the second video: How to install FLoRa  (OMNeT++ 6.0 pre 11) on Ubuntu 20.04

Dear Alfonso,

I have tried to build, and there were 5 errors. I'm sending the dialog box that was opened when I tried to build. Do you have any idea about the possible reason? You told me to check the features. What does that precisely mean?
Thank you in advance.

In Project->properties->OMNeT++->Project features

Select the options that you want and apply, it is possible that you need to repeat them several times until they disappear, this will generate the correct project configuration. The problem is that exists a discrepancy between the selected features and the project configuration.

I suspect that the problem is the size of the DDL file, try to remove any unnecessary feature, and build it, I have tested and removing some features like clock and icancloud is enough, you can remove any unnecessary
