Software

We will use the following software:

Windows platform

OMDev-mingw.zip package for Windows.
Please install it into c:\OMDev to avoid any problems.
OpenModelica 1.4.0 as a .msi installer.

Linux platform

(OMDev package is not available and all the software below needs compilation/installation)

ANTLR 2.7.6 compiled from sources.
Mico Corba 2.3.12 compiled from sources.
Mico has a lot of dependencies.
MetaModelica compiler (rml-mmc-2.3.6) compiled from sources.
The MetaModelica compiler needs: smlnj compiler 110.58 or mlton compiler 20051202, readline library, flex, bison
OpenModelica 1.4.0 compiled from sources with Corba support.

All platforms

Eclipse 3.1
Modelica Development Tooling (MDT) version 0.6.6.
Check this page for an installation guide.
The Java 5.0 is needed to run MDT.
MetaModelica exercises pack.

Notes on Software

Windows - We will have CDs and a USB memory stick with all the software needed for Windows.
Linux - We will also have the sources needed to compile/install on Linux for:
OpenModelica, MetaModelica compiler, Mico 2.3.12, Antlr 2.7.6, MetaModelica exercises, Eclipse 3.1, MDT 0.6.6
If you can install some of the needed software in advance things will go a lot faster.

MetaModelica Exercises

We developed a set of MetaModelica exercises we will work on in the first day (June 8)
The exercises are available for download here.
Please read the Software information and README.txt concerning the software dependencies.
