Omnet version for CentOS 6.10

[Emre Can Kucukoglu]

Hi all,

I have a CentOs 6.10 (x86_64) setup to install omnetpp. Currently I have no success with omnetpp version 5.5.1.

First problem was It needs gcc > 4.8, because of cflags like -sed=c++11.

Gcc 4.8 > is not supported by default, installed version of gcc is 4.4.7. And I couldn't handle package dependencies to install it manually.

And then QT5 dependency, it is also not one of the supported packages for centos6. (can use tk/tcl instead of qt5)

So, I have decided to install older versions of omnet, Which version is more suitable so I don't need to solve library/package issues.

Update: I successfully installed version 4.5. However It would be better if I could install newer versions.

Thanks for any suggestions. 

Best,

emre

At best you may try OMNET5.0, later versions (i.e. 5.1 and up) used C++11 features.

I would probably try to use docker if that centos version supports it at all and run OMNET in a docker (there are ready made images that can be used inside docker):
