在 Windows 上使用静脉和 OMNET++ 配置 RInside

Question

I have been trying to configure RInside with Veins and OMNET++, but finding some issues.

After going through the discussion in Is it possible to use RInside in omnet++/Veins project to benefit from rich R features and How to set up Eclipse + StatET + Rcpp on Windows , I created a new project (shared type) in omnet++ and tried to configure RInside it. I am experiencing some errors ( "undefined reference to RInside::operator[]", "undefined reference to RInside::parseEvalQ") .

I know that this is a linking error. I am fairly new to C++ configurations and eclipse based IDEs so struggling to figure out what's wrong. I am attaching the screenshots of the configurations as well. I would really appreciate if someone can help.

Update (after successfully building RInside and making sure that the tool chain is right)

Here is the makefrag file

#
# on windows we have to link with the ws2_32 (winsock2) library as it is no longer added to the omnetpp system libraries by default (as of OMNeT++ 5.1)
# copied from INET Framework (inet-3.6.0) makefrag
#
ifeq ($(PLATFORM),win32.x86_64)
  LIBS += -lws2_32
  DEFINES += -DINET_EXPORT
  ENABLE_AUTO_IMPORT=-Wl,--enable-auto-import
  LDFLAGS := $(filter-out $(ENABLE_AUTO_IMPORT), $(LDFLAGS))

  R_HOME := $(shell R RHOME | sed -e "s|\\\\|\/|g")
  R_ARCH := --arch $(shell echo 'cat(.Platform$$r_arch)' | R --vanilla --slave)
  sources := $(wildcard *.cpp)
  programs := $(sources:.cpp=)

  ## include headers and libraries for RInside embedding classes
  RINSIDEINCL := $(shell echo 'RInside:::CxxFlags()' | $(R_HOME)/bin/R $(R_ARCH) --vanilla --slave)
  RINSIDELIBS := $(shell echo 'RInside:::LdFlags()'  | $(R_HOME)/bin/R $(R_ARCH) --vanilla --slave)

  #DEFINES += $(RCPPFLAGS) $(RCPPINCL) $(RINSIDEINCL) $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin/R CMD config CPPFLAGS) $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin/R CMD config CXXFLAGS)
  #LIBS += $(RLDFLAGS) $(RRPATH) $(RBLAS) $(RLAPACK) $(RCPPLIBS) $(RINSIDELIBS)

endif

Answer 1

I gave integrating RInside and Veins (version 5 alpha 1) a quick try and can report success.

I installed RInside by running R and executing install.packages('RInside') .

I then amended the following lines (mostly copied from the RInside examples GNUMakefile) to the Veins src/makefrag file:

# determine flags for RInside
R_HOME := $(shell R RHOME)
RCPPFLAGS := $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin/R CMD config --cppflags)
RLDFLAGS := $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin/R CMD config --ldflags)
RBLAS := $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin/R CMD config BLAS_LIBS)
RLAPACK := $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin/R CMD config LAPACK_LIBS)
RCPPINCL := $(shell echo 'Rcpp:::CxxFlags()' | $(R_HOME)/bin/R --vanilla --slave)
RCPPLIBS := $(shell echo 'Rcpp:::LdFlags()'  | $(R_HOME)/bin/R --vanilla --slave)
RINSIDEINCL := $(shell echo 'RInside:::CxxFlags()' | $(R_HOME)/bin/R --vanilla --slave)
RINSIDELIBS := $(shell echo 'RInside:::LdFlags()'  | $(R_HOME)/bin/R --vanilla --slave)

# feed to opp_makemake
DEFINES += $(RCPPFLAGS) $(RCPPINCL) $(RINSIDEINCL) $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin/R CMD config CPPFLAGS) $(shell $(R_HOME)/bin/R CMD config CXXFLAGS)
LIBS += $(RLDFLAGS) $(RRPATH) $(RBLAS) $(RLAPACK) $(RCPPLIBS) $(RINSIDELIBS)

After that, I could use R inside Veins. I tried this by copying code from RInside rinside_sample0.cpp to Veins BaseConnectionManager.cc as follows:

Compiling Veins ( ./configure followed by make ) and running the tutorial example ( cd examples/veins followed by ./run -u Cmdenv ) produced the desired output:

(Note the Hello, world! output during initialization of the simulation.)

Building on Windows will likely mean copying lines from the RInside examples Makefile.win file instead.
