OverSim Installation Instructions

These instructions show you how to install OverSim for Linux. Compiling and running OverSim for Windows is currently not supported (If you want to compile OverSim for windows, you should take a look at the ​OMNeT++ install instructions for Windows).

1. Download ​OMNeT++ 3.3 from ​http://www.omnetpp.org/ after reading the ​License

2. Create a new directory (in the following we assume you want to install OMNeT++ and OverSim to ~/sim/) and extract OMNeT++:

     mkdir ~/sim
     cd ~/sim
     tar xzf /tmp/omnetpp-3.3-src.tgz
   

3. Add the following lines to your .bashrc or .profile:

     export PATH=$PATH:~/sim/omnetpp-3.3/bin:~/sim/INET-20061020-OverSim/bin
     export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/sim/omnetpp-3.3/lib
   

4. Edit omnetpp-3.3/configure.user and change CFLAGS for speed and profiling:

     CFLAGS='-O3 -DNDEBUG=1 -gstabs+3 -Wall'
   

5. Compile OMNeT++:

     cd ~/sim/omnetpp-3.3
     ./configure
     make
   

6. Download the patched version of the INET framework INET-20061020-OverSim.tgz and extract in next to your OMNeT++ installation:

     cd ~/sim
     tar xzf /tmp/INET-20061020-OverSim.tgz
   

7. Edit INET-20061020-OverSim/inetconfig and change ROOT to your install of the INET framework:

     ROOT=$(HOME)/sim/INET-20061020-OverSim
   

8. Compile the INET framework:

     ./makemake
     make
   

9. Download the latest OverSim snapshot OverSim-20061215.tgz and extract in next to your OMNeT++ installation:

     cd ~/sim
     tar xzf /tmp/OverSim-20061215.tgz
   

10. Compile OverSim:

      cd ~/sim/OverSim
      ./makemake
      make
    

Congratulations - now you should have a working OverSim installation!
