Hi,

I tried to compile some selected OpenFOAM classes I need for a project. When surfaceInterpolate.H was included, I ran into:

.../finiteVolume/lnInclude/surfaceInterpolate.H(176): error: FieldField is not a template
      static tmp<FieldField<fvsPatchField, Type> > interpolate
                 ^

When I #include "FieldField.H" in surfaceInterpolate.H, compilation is successful. I new to C++ Programming, so can someone confirm that the include is simply missing and the only reason no one noticed so far is that during "normal" compilation, "FieldField.H" is included somewhere else?

Edit: The error is not present when using wmake, just with icpc. Probably I'm missing to mirror an important feature of wmake in icpc?

Cheers,
David

... I missed to #include "volFields.H".
Remaining question: Why does this affect icpc, but not wmake?

Cheers,

Quick answer: wmake uses its own rule management mechanism for building OpenFOAM.
If you are using icpc directly, instead of relying on wmake and the environment variable "WM_COMPILER", then it's natural that you forgot to include one or more folders to the header search list.
