For now, these are only instructions for Ubuntu (11.04 to be exact, but they should work for 10.04 and above), and it shouldn't be all that different for OpenSuSE.

Note: I've discovered the other day, thanks to a fellow user of this forum, that Doxygen 1.7.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 does not build the code documentation for OpenFOAM 2.0. Nonetheless, a solution is already known (two actually) and is shown here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post317304...

This blog post will try to detail and complement the OpenFOAM 2.0.1 building process on old machines, where my test case was with two Ubuntu 8.04 - one i686 and one x86_64 - in two separate virtual machines with 1.6GiB of RAM and 4 processors each.

This post will detail a lot more information than the official instructions, specially because the official instructions are meant for Linux OSes that are modern'ish, such as Ubuntu 10.04 and above.

Generating a mesh with a MRF region using snappyHexMesh:



-- using cylinder option (primitive shape available in OF-1.6 and above) and defining it in the geometry sub-dictionary in snappyHexMeshDict

cylinder
{
type searchableCylinder;
point1 (0 0 10);
point2 (0 0 20);
radius 10;
}

Using this as a refinement surface and obtaining the cells inside as a MRF cellZone.

In general, there are 2 different ways to link FLUENT with VC++. In both methods, we need to add fluent to system path which can be easilly done via executing "setenv.exe" which is in FLUENT installation folder.

1) non-permanent method:

In this method, we need to launch FLUENT by VC++ command prompt (which can be found in tools folder of VC++) by simply typing fluent.
In this method, we have to launch FLUENT in this manner whenever we want to compile a UDF....

This blog post is meant to centralize my efforts for providing gcc build scripts to the OpenFOAM community. It provides build scripts for gcc 4.3.x, 4.4.x and 4.5.x series.

NOTE: If you don't have internet on the computer where you want to run this script, you can still run these scripts, because they will provide you with instructions on which files to download and where to place them!

These scripts are based on the scripts provided with the patches for cross-compiling...
