Omnet++ not working on my Machine_Pls help

[Renuka Arya]

Dear Sir/Madam

My name is Renuka Arya. I'm a Masters student at the University of
Waterloo, Canada.

My machine details: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit machine

I downloaded the OMNeT++ 4.1 win32 (source + IDE + MINGW, zip) from
website: http://www.omnetpp.org

I successfully completed all the steps but when I'm trying to run Opnet
++ via mingwenv.cmd using command $ omnetpp, I'm getting the following
error (enclosed the file)

I tried everything but unable to get rid of it.I'll be really-really
grateful if you can help me on this.


Thanks & Regards
Renuka Arya

hi,

Ya now i got ur file...did u install JRE before that? if not try to install it first from their offficial website... www.java.com

[Renuka Arya]

Ya I had installed that.

Can a 64-bit machine be a problem?

Renuka

[ayaz khan afridi]

ya i guess..because i have 32bit win7....and its working fine....

[Renuka Arya]

That means there is no way of using OMNET++ on 64-bit machine..

Trying so hard since morning...no success

Renuka

[ayaz khan afridi]

u can also see this..from OMNET++ installation guide..

1.2. Supported Platforms
OMNeT++ has been tested and is supported on the following operating systems:
• Windows 7, Vista, XP
• Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6
• Linux distributions covered in this Installation Guide
The Simulation IDE can be used on the following platforms:
• Linux x86 (32-bit / 64-bit)
• Windows 7, Vista, XP (32-bit)
• Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 (32-bit)

[ayaz khan afridi]

i think u shud switch to 32bit :)

[Renuka Arya]

:)....Srsly this 64 bit machine is a pain..

One more thing is there ...when I do Verifying the Installation using $ cd samples/dyna

$ ./dyna It works fine

Click the Start button, then start typing environment variables
into the search box. Choose Edit environment variables for your account when it
appears in the list. The dialog comes up.
In the dialog, select path or PATH in the list, click Edit. Append ";<omnetppdir>\
bin" to the value (without quotes), where <omnetpp-dir> is the name of the
OMNeT++ root directory (for example C:\omnetpp-4.1). Hit Enter to accept.
You need to close and re-open any command windows for the changes to take effect
in them.

[Renuka Arya]

actually had tried that too earlier...:(

break my head like anything...:(

Though Once again I'll do everything religiously...lets see

hey can u suggest me some other network simulator...

How about ns2? How difficult or easy to use it?

Need to do my course project actually...

Again dunno version for 64 bit machine for ns-2 will be available

Finally I got a solution to install Omnet++ on Windows 7 , 64 bit machine.Actually the trick is installing java for 64 bit machine. The procedure goes as follows:

1)  Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp --> click on java download( The first square box) --> click download -->Select Platform as " Windows"( u need to register for continuing) -- > click Continue --> download jdk-6u21-windows-i586.exe ( or the latest jdk).

Note: install this file in C:\Program files(X86) --> java

2) Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp --> click on java download( The first square box) --> click download -->Select Platform as " Window X64"( u need to register for continuing) -- > click Continue --> download jdk-6u21-windows-x64.exe( or the latest jdk).Note: install this file in C:\Program files-->java

3)Restart your computer

4)  Next You can install the OMNET++ as the instruction given at the website.

5) It is possible that you might get some Java run time error when start running OMNET++ by giving command $omnetpp. In that case u create empty folders in sequence Omnetpp-4-1 --> ide -->jre --> bin and in "bin" copy the file javaw.exe ( this u'll get in Program files(x86) -->java--> jre 6 .(You'll get this hint in case u get the same error, This is pretty ridiculous but it worked for me)

Hope this helps....banged my head for the whole day and got this...but as rightly said....its all learning... :)

..and ayaz thanks a lot for ur replies...

hi,
thats goood...same was the case with me when i was initially installing mobilitframework(for wireless and mobile communication) still i m getting errors...but it works anyhow..:)....nd one more thing...u will need MIXIM(also for wireless and mobile communication) for ur project ...because mobility framework not getting updated since 2007 so u will need MIXIM framework there are some basic examples which could be modified for ADHOC networks...and its very easy just download it and import it ur project space...hop this will make ur work easier...:)

[Renuka Arya]

Hi Ayaz

Thanks a lot for the info.I'll try downloading and using it.

[ayaz khan afridi]

hi,
np u welcome...

[Renuka Arya]

Hi Ayaz

I downloaded MIXIM and trying to get familiar with it..

I found somewhere that there is a framework INETMANET specifically dealing with routing protocols in MANET..

U have ever used it?

I'm having problem in importing it itself

thanks

Renuka

[ayaz khan afridi]

yes it is...but i didnt use it...coz m using mixim......

Hi Ayaz/Renuka,
I have installed Omnet++ in Windows XP 64 bit
edition.Installation was fine.I tried going through the Omnet++
tutorial and was working out the "tictoc" tutorial.I noticed a problem
here written as below.

In the "tictoc" directory I created the tictoc.ned and txc1.cc.As
suggested when I try to run "opp_makemake" , I could not.This I found
was because neither make or nmake supports a 64bit Windows.So i found
a dmake utility that could be used for a 64 bit machine.And it did
create a Makefile.

But when I run dmake on this Makefile , now it says -

C:\tictoc>dmake
dmake: makefile: line 28: Warning: -- Macro `O' redefined after use
dmake: makefile: line 51: Error: -- Expecting macro or rule defn,
found neither

I do not understand what is wrong with the Makefile here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE -- make depend depends on it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In case you work on Windows 32 or 64 bit, sometime or the other you
would use a Makefile for compilations.

In that case this problem will come up.If any of you have encountered
a similar case, would you share how you have solved this.

Thanks for the help!

Shameek Ghosh.
