Simu5G build crash on Omnet++ 6.0, Build id: 220413-71d8fab425 and INET 4.3.9

[B0GDAN]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to use Simu5G on my Omnet++ setup and the build crashes every time:

Anybody have any ideas how to debug it?

Thanks
Bogdan

Hello,

latest stable release of Simu5G (1.2.0) requres OMNeT++ 6.0pre11 and INET 4.3.2 (see here).

However, the master branch in GitHub has just been updated to support OMNeT++ 6.0 and INET 4.3.9. So if you want to try with those, then please download the version of the code available in the current master branch from GitHub.

Unfortunately the master branch also doesn't build without errors. I'll give it a try with OMNeT++ 6.0pre11 and INET 4.3.2

Simu5G-1.2.0 fails to build also with omnetpp-6.0rc2 and inet-4.3.7

Building with inet-4.3.2 was successful but building inet-4.3.2 itself lead to a lot of warnings

Guys, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to use Simu5G. All runs seem to fail due to some incompatibility issues.

On Linux (Ubuntu) it works straight forward (just tested it right now):

Example for Building and Using Simu5G (master branch)

• Download and Install OMNeT++ Version 6.0 (tested with Version: 6.0, Build id: 220413-71d8fab425)
• Clone INET: git clone -b v4.3.9 https://github.com/inet-framework/inet.git inet4.3
• Clone Simu5G: git clone https://github.com/Unipisa/Simu5G.git
• Start OMNeT++, decline to import the examples and inet
• Import both projects as "existing project"
• Check in Properties for simu5G that inet is selected as project reference
• build inet, build simu5G
• Run simulations

Tested on: Ubuntu Linux Desktop 22.04 LTS

However, based on your screenshot, I assume that you are working on Windows. I am not sure to what extent Simu5G has been tested on Windows, since I use it on a Linux system only. However, what you could do if you do not run Linux on your simulation machine, is to install it in an VM (e.g. virtualbox).

[B0GDAN]

I replicated your configuration in a virtual box VM and the simulations work fine now

INET showed a bunch of warnings at build time but this didn't seem to impact the simulations

Thanks for the heads up! There is no information on Simu5G website that it should be run only with Linux or that Windows isn't supported. Maybe this should be mentioned there.

[wischhof]

No problem - good to hear. The "no such parameter" warnings are meaningless and can be ignored (as far as I know) - the IDE fails to detect that the mentioned parameter is correctly used, often due to wildcards.

Latest master branch works fine with OMNeT++ 6.0 on Windows using the Windows Subsystem for Linux. We have not tested it with the MinGW environment yet.

Older versions - that is, Simu5G v1.2 - worked fine on Windows using the MinGW environment.

[B0GDAN]

I already had installation issues with OMNeT++ 6.0 on WSL and GUI problems that made me sorry to go down this road. Simu5G v1.2 can't be built without errors on Windows on the exact configuration mentioned on http://simu5g.org/ as I already mentioned before. The only way that looks kind of stable is to use a Linux VM on Windows and run it there.

[giovanninardini]

In my own (little) experience on Windows, I made Simu5G v1.2 work by recompiling OMNeT++ using GCC instead of CLANG... that is, by setting PREFER_CLANG=no in the configure.user file in the OMNeT++ directory and re-building it.

BTW, a VM with Linux is of course a good compromise :)

[B0GDAN]

Cool, I'll give it a try. So far I got it to work also with WSL + Ubuntu and xfce but I still need vcxserver

Which version of Omnet did you use?

Tried on Win11, doesn't work

For building on Windows, refer to #65, which should solve the problem
