Compiling INET

1. Unpack the .tar.gz file to the omnetpp folder in Home.

2. Building INET: In OMNeT++ IDE, go to File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace Choose the INET parent directory as root directory (situated in /home/<your_user_name>/omnetpp-4.1/ ) and click finish. Right click on "inet" folder in Project Explorer, click "Close unrelated Projects". Now press Ctrl+B or Project > Build All to build INET. If the OMNeT++, INET versions match, it will compile without any errors (there will be few warning messages, you can ignore it!)

Now, INET is ready. You can proceed to the next article.
