it is a 68 Byts file, and its contents are

Pstream.C
IPread.C
OPwrite.C

LIB = $(FOAM_LIBBIN)/dummy/libPstream

these three files are available into the folder OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/src/Pstream/dummy

Michael, I guess I understand what you mean, so if g++ cannot find these files it is because an environment variable or variables are not correctly defined.

After that failed compilation, I ran the foamInstallationTest utility, and there are critical variables that are incorrectly defined, here is the output

Right now, I am a bit confused, these variables are assigned during the compilation based on the bashrc definitions and the settings.sh and no intervention from my side, what might have caused this to happen to me.
truly, I will be glad to receive your reply

Good luck to all, and thanks again

The only thing in your listing that is strange is FOAM_APPBIN. What does it point to? But anyways, I would be very surprised if that was the reason...

To me it seems as if wmake wasn't able to correctly read/preprocess Make/{options,files}. What does $FOAM_SRC/Pstream/dummy/Make/$WM_OPTIONS contain? Does the file filesMacros exist in there, and what are its contents?

Michael

I guess you are on the right track, the file filesMacros is an empty document (0 bytes)
Well it is not the only one, the files contained into the directory
$FOAM_SRC/Pstream/dummy/Make/$WM_OPTIONS are
1- dependencies 24B {dependencies up to date }
2- dependencyFiles 16B {DEPENDENCIES = }
3- dontIncludeDeps 0B
4- files 0B
5- filesMacros 0B
6- includeDeps 0B
7- localObjectFiles 17B {LOCAL_OBJECTS = }
8- objectFiles 11B {OBJECTS = }
9- options 0B
10- sourceFiles 10B {SOURCE = }
where the contents of the None Zero files is written between the curly braces


and here we have the env variables:-

ahmed@linux-z5ms:~> echo $FOAM_APPBIN
/home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt

ahmed@linux-z5ms:~> echo $FOAM_SITE_APPBIN

ahmed@linux-z5ms:~> echo $FOAM_USER_APPBIN

Hi, Mattijs, even I revise the tecioOptions file as
The /Make/linuxIA64GccDPOpt/options file don't change and keep as
But it is OK, I can use the OF-1.6, because I still keep this version. Thank you very much.

Hi Everyone,

not sure whether this is related to the previous problems as I am very new to linux and compiling. I followed albertos manual to install OF1.6 on opensuse 11.2 but i get an error when compiling from git.

unfortunately i cannot comprehend where exactly the problem is located. could someone help me out?

here is the last bit of the log:

cheers,

chris

Hi Ahmed

I have the same error than you when I try to compile

wmake libso finiteVolume

after add a new boundary condition patch. Have you solved this probelm?

Tankyou very much

David
