A binary release for Solaris 7 is now available. Contributed by Ulrich Kaage ([email protected]). Hi OMNeT++ users,
I would like to announce a precompiled package of OMNeT++ for SUN
SPARC workstations (sun4u and sun4m) running Solaris 7.
The package is available from
http://whale.hit.bme.hu/omnetpp/release/omnetpp-2.0.1-sol-bin.tgz
This is a binary release based on OMNeT++ Version 2.0.1 with all
sources included. It comes with its own TCL/TK libraries and include
files. This distribution uses static libraries and the OMNeT++ kernel
is compiled with debugging information.
After package installation with the pkgadd tool and setting up two
environment variables you can start using OMNeT++ right out of the
box.
The only prerequisite is that you have gcc version 2.95.2 installed on
the target system because the library libstdc++.so.2.10.0 is needed. A
binary package of gcc is available from
http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc7.html#gcc2952
Here is a short installation description on how to install the binary
OMNeT++ package in /opt/omnetpp:
1. Unpack the archive in a temporary directory, e.g. /tmp
   $ gzip -cd < omnetpp-2.0.1-sol-bin.tgz		 (cd /tmp; tar -xf -)
2. Become root and start the pkgadd utility:
   # pkgadd -d /tmp
3. pkgadd now asks you which package to install. Select the number of
   the line containing omnetpp (normally number 1).
   E.g.
   # pkgadd -d /tmp 
   The following packages are available:
     1  omnetpp     OMNeT++ Discrete Event Simulation System
                 (sparc) 2.0.1
   Select package(s) you wish to process (or ‘all’ to process
   all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: 1
  
4. When being asked for the path to the package base directory, enter /opt:
   Enter path to package base directory [?,q] /opt
5. After installation has finished you can remove the temporary
   directory:
   # rm -rf /tmp/omnetpp
6. Read /opt/omnetpp/README.Solaris-Binary for instructions on how to
   set up your environment for using OMNeT++.
Cheers, Uli
