net/rime.h error using Cooja, how can I install it but not just download it?

Question

I am trying to do a simple simulation in Cooja (literally the example on the Contiki website here).

However I have an error message linked to my #include "net/rime.h", Cooja outputs the following message while compiling: fatal error: net/rime.h: No such file or directory

I thought that it came with Contiki when I've installed contiki-ng following the procedure on the official website. My quick fix was to download the file from the github repository and store it in my active directory. However I find it quite ugly, is there a way to install this library ? Because I haven't found a way yet.

Thanks a lot.

It's a question close to this one.

Answer 1

Which kind of method are you using to start Cooja? Directly on the SO? Over Docker?

I recommend you de Docker way, and remember to apply the command

git submodule update --init --recursive

after cloning the git repository.

Also, if you are using Docker, check if the binding of the Contiki folders between de Host and the Container are correctly made.
