OMNeT++ & INET: Error while using 3rd Party-Tool

Question

I'm using OMNet++ & INET in order to simulate an UDP-Network. I changed the UDPBurst example a little bit:

• Changed Router to an etherSwitch
• Using ThruputMeteringChannel as connection

Now I change the ThruputMeteringChannel.cc, so I can draw charts:

• copping files (.c & .h) from (http://kuepper.userweb.mwn.de/software.htm)
• Adding import of chart.h to ThruputMeteringChannel.cc
• adding the Example 1 from the Chart program to the initialize() method

When starting the .ini file I get an error in the graphical runtime environment:

Error in module (cModule) UDPBurst.host[0] (id=2) during network setup: Error evaluating parameter 'tcpType': None of the following NED types are available TCP, TCP_IwIP,TCP_NSC,TCP_Node.

In my console is no creating "shared libraries" while building. But only when I use the chart.h

PS: I'm working with Linux (Ubuntu 12.04) on a VM.

Answer 1

I suspect that the build fails and the library is not built at all. Check the output of the build console for errors, but before building make sure that you run 'make makefiles' from the command line (or use the IDE to build INET) otherwise the .cc files will not be included in the build and the final linking will fail.
