Problem installing Omnet++ Federate

[LDVictor]

Hello people.

I'm trying to install Omnet++ Federate according to the documentation (https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/simulators/network_simulator_omnetpp/) but I'm facing some problems. I'm doing the installation for developers, with Omnet++ 5.5 and Inet 4.1 as recommended, but when I try to run, this error occurs:

`Error: ...tpp_federate_src/.modules/tools/.modules/tools/tools.lua:21:

I have the most recent premake5 installed in my Ubuntu distro, so anyone knows how can I fix this?

Thanks for noting that down! Have you tried to upgrade the used premake5 version in the omnetpp_installer.sh script?

omnet_federate_url="https://github.com/mosaic-addons/omnetpp-federate/archive/21.0.zip"
inet_src_url="https://github.com/inet-framework/inet/releases/download/v4.1.1/inet-4.1.1-src.tgz"

-premake5_url="https://github.com/premake/premake-core/releases/download/v5.0.0-alpha14/premake-5.0.0-alpha14-linux.tar.gz"
+premake5_url="https://github.com/premake/premake-core/releases/download/v5.0.0-alpha15/premake-5.0.0-alpha15-linux.tar.gz"
premake5_tar="$(basename "$premake5_url")"
premake5_autoconf_url="https://github.com/Blizzard/premake-autoconf/archive/master.zip"
premake5_autoconf_zip="$(basename "$premake5_autoconf_url")"

I am not sure if this is already fixed in this version though.

Thanks for responding me. I tried this upgrade that you suggested, but the same error occurs. I think it's related with premake-autoconf, because this error appears right after the downloads of premake-autoconf-master files (api.lua, autoconf.lua, clang.lua, gcc.lua, msc.lua).
