Integrate Omnet++ with Helics

[eaamako]

Hello HELICS community,

I’m working on integrating HELICS with OMNeT++ 6.1 on Windows 10 to run the SimpleTicToc example from the helics-omnetpp repository (https://github.com/GMLC-TDC/helics-omnetpp/tree/master/example1).
When building the project, I encounter a linker error: ld.lld: error: helics.lib(helics.dll): .idata$4 should not refer to special section 0. I believe this is due to using LLVM’s ld.lld linker with an MSVC-built helics.lib, and I’m trying to switch to MSVC’s link.exe to resolve it.
However, I’m also facing an OMNeT++ configure issue that may be related, and I’d appreciate guidance on resolving the linker error and ensuring compatibility with HELICS.
System Setup:
OMNeT++: Version 6.1 (Windows x86_64 distribution)
HELICS: Installed via pip install helics
Compiler: Clang 14.0.6
Linker: Attempting to use MSVC link.exe

Thanks
