Chapter 1. General Information
1.1. Introduction
This document describes how to install OMNeT++ on various platforms. One chapter is dedicated to each operating system.

1.2. Supported Platforms
OMNeT++ has been tested and is supported on the followingoperating systems: • Windows 7, Vista, XP • Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7 • Linux distributions covered in this Installation Guide The Simulation IDE can be used on the following platforms: • Linux x86 • Windows 7, Vista, XP • Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7
Simulations can be run practically on any unix-like environment with a decent and fairly up-to-date C++ compiler, for example gcc 4.x. Certain OMNeT++ features(Tkenv, parallel simulation, XML support, etc.) depend on the availability of external libraries (Tcl/Tk, MPI, LibXML or Expat, etc.) IDE platforms are restricted because the IDE relies on a native shared library, which we compile for the above platforms and distribute in binary form for convenience.

Chapter 2. Windows
2.1. Supported Windows Versions
The supported Windows versions arethe Intel 32-bit versions of Windows XP and later , Windows versions such as Vista and Windows 7.

2.2. Installing OMNeT++
Download the OMNeT++ source code from http://omnetpp.org. Make sure you select the Windows-specific archive, named omnetpp-4.2.2-src-windows.zip. The package is nearly self-contained: in addition to OMNeT++ files it includes a C++ compiler, a command-line build environment,and all libraries and programs required by OMNeT++. Copy the OMNeT++ archive to the directory where you want to install it. Choose a directory whose full path does not contain any space; for example, do not put OMNeT++ under Program Files. Extract the zip file. To do so, right-click the zip file in Windows Explorer, and select Extract All from the menu. You can also use external programs likeWinzip or 7zip. Rename the resulting directory to omnetpp-4.2.2. When you look into the new omnetpp-4.2.2 directory, should see directories named doc, images, include, msys, etc., and files named mingwenv.cmd, configure, Makefile, and others.

2.3. Configuring and Building OMNeT++
Start mingwenv.cmd in the omnetpp-4.2.2 directory by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer. It will bring up a consolewith the MSYS bash shell, where the path is already set to include the omnetpp-4.2.2/bin directory.
If you want to start simulations from outside the shell as well (for example from Explorer), you need to add OMNeT++'s bin directory to the path; instructions are provided later.

First, check the contents of the configure.user file to make sure it contains the settings you need. In most cases...
