We have compiled the source files, provided in the download section, using OMNeT++ with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.

The operating system under which we have built the X-Simulator was Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2.

The basic steps that you must follow in order to build your X-Simulator are:

1. Install OMNeT++ into your PC.
2. Open a shell and go into the directory containing the X-Simulator source files.
3. Compile the .msg files by the command line:
   
   opp_msgc    filename.msg


4. Create the Makefile.vc by the command line:
   
   opp_nmakemake -f


5. Compile and link the program by the command line:
   
   n_make -f Makefile.vc
