Castalia + Eclipse Juno

updated from http://castalia.npc.nicta.com.au/installationEclipse.php

Took these steps to get Castalia 3.2 working under Eclipse Juno on OS X 10.8.2:

1. Install Eclipse and CDT (C/C++ Dev Tools)

2. Download Castalia (latest, which for me is 3.2)

3. In Eclipse, create a new makefile-based C++ project (e.g., “CastaliaSim”)

• File/New/C++ Project

• Select Makefile project in Project Type, then select Empty Project

• Provide name of project, click Finish

4. Copy all of downloaded Castalia files into new project folder (i.e., into CastaliaSim)

• Don’t worry about missing config directory…

5. Refresh Eclipse project. All the copied files/directories should show up in Eclipse

6. Right-click Eclipse project (CastaliaSim) and select Make Targets/Create…

• Make three (3) targets

• all: type “all” at the “Target Name” and “all” at the “Make Target”

• clean: type “clean” at the “Target Name” and “clean” at the “Make Target”

• cleanall: type “cleanall” at the “Target Name” and “cleanall” at the “Make Target”

• For each, the Build command needs to be set to a script so that we can get around an OS X and Eclipse shortcoming for PATH variables (or my lack of knowledge and Google-fu)

• Create a bash script eclipseMake.sh with the following contents:

where the bash script “.pathsrc” contains bash commands to set and export your PATH variable, including the absolute path to the omnetpp/bin

• and make executable (“chmod +x eclipseMake.sh”)

7. The make targets are ready:

• The targets are ready and can be found in the Make Target view on the right

8. As suggested in the InstallationEclipse reference, a makemake script can be created

• Right-click Eclipse project (CastaliaSim) and select Make Targets/Create…

• Create the eclipseMakemake.sh with the following contents:

where the bash script “.pathsrc” contains bash commands to set and export your PATH variable, including the absolute path to the omnetpp/bin

• and make executable (“chmod +x eclipseMakemake.sh”)

• NOTE: so that Eclipse could find my $PATH, I had to take all my .bashrc PATH definitions and put them in a separate bash script that was sourced by eclipseMakemake.sh

9. You might try making a run configuration for simulations...

• Since it’s better to run the simulation in the specific Castalia/Simulations/ directory, I don’t recommend it.
