how to fix "Error refreshing Makefiles" error in veins?

Question

I was using an old version of veins in my work (version 4.5) with omnet++ version 5 and SUMO 0.29.0. It was working without problems.

now I want to upgrade to a newer version of veins. I tried both 4.7 and 4.7.1 with the same versions of SUMO and Omnet++. while building the project I get the following error:

Error refreshing Makefiles.

Reason:

Cannot parse /veins/.oppbuildspec

Details:

/veins/.oppbuildspec: unrecognized option: --meta:export-include-path

I don't know how to fix the error. I removed the older veins project from the IDE and the workspace.

I am working on Windows 8.

Omnet++ v5.0. I have already mentioned that in the question. — Rehab11, Jan 06 '19 at 23:07

OMNeT++ 5.0 is too old for Veins 4.7.1. See the download page of Veins for a list of which software versions of OMNeT++ and SUMO each version of Veins is compatible with.

For example, - Veins 4.7.1 needs OMNeT++ 5.3 and SUMO 0.32.0. - Veins 5 alpha 1 needs OMNeT++ 5.4.1 and SUMO 1.0.0.
