This how-to is on compiling ODE, KODEX and MISS for those who want to move to ODE instead of VORTEX.

Obtaining ODE, KODEX and MISS

You can either download ODE, KODEX and MISS from the (semi)official or you can download a local version of the sources used for this how-to.


First compile ODE, then move it so that it becomes a subdirectory of KODEX, and compile KODEX. Both projects should compile in the usual way, e.g.

~/sbot/ode/kodex-0.5.3/ode$ ./configure
..

~/sbot/ode/kodex-0.5.3/ode$ make
..

~/sbot/ode/kodex-0.5.3/ode$ cd ..
~/sbot/ode/kodex-0.5.3$ ./configure
..

~/sbot/ode/kodex-0.5.3/ode$ make
.. 

MISS

The simulator proves a bit more challenging to compile. First of all the MISS directory has to be a subdirectory of KODEX like ODE. If you try to compile it as it is PES has to be installed. PES is apparently a library for genetic algorithms used by the researchers who did the KODEX wrapper. I do not have it installed and commenting out the three references to PES in the MISS source code works:

  1. miss-2.1.4/src/Environment.h:39 comment out include "pes/pesnet.h"
  2. miss-2.1.4/src/Environment.h:150 comment out the declaration of PESNetworkAdapter NetAdapter
  3. miss-2.1.4/src/Environment.cpp:4 comment out the line PESNetworkAdapter* Environment::NetAdapter = NULL
