Error building Omnet++: Cannot build Tcl/Tk apps on Mountain lion
compilation, omnet++, osx-lion
Solution
Found a solution for this over on the omnetpp google group, I'll paste it in here:
Hi all,
just tried Mountain Lion, which was released yesterday. Unfortunately, the new MacOSX does not include X11 by default. I really HATE this decision. As a result, it does not pass the Tcl/Tk checks when we do ./configure.
After hours of efforts, I finally figured out how to work around this:
- download and install XQuartz at http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
- make a symbolic link at /usr/include: sudo ln -s /opt/X11/include/X11 /usr/include
and you are all set. In 2, you may also set some environment variables accordingly instead of making the symbolic link.
Future OMNet++ releases may consider setting associated environment variables so that the compiler looks for Xlib.h in /opt/X11/include/X11 with Mountain Lion.
Just successfully compiled the simulator and haven't encountered other problems yet.
Have fun, TS
Problem
I'm trying to Compile Omnet++ 4.1 on Mountain Lion. When I type: ``` ./configure ``` I get the following error: configure: error: Cannot build Tcl/Tk apps, probably due to misconfigured or missing X11 headers or libs. Check config.log for more info! I remember compiling it on Lion without any problems, any ideas how to get it working on Mountain Lion?
