Mac-patch for OpenFOAM 2.4

Hi!

Attached you'll find the patch that makes OF 2.4 (I used the git-repository, but the source tarball should work too) compile on a Mac.

Instructions at http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...OpenFOAM_2.3.x should work.

The patch is almost the same as for 2.3. Major difference is that the stack-trace is now delegated to lldb (which does a better job). The old stack-trace is done in addition

Installation OF 2.4 on Mac OS X

Hi!

I'm new to OpenFOAM and working with a terminal. I want to install the latest version of OF (2.4) on my Mac OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3. I followed the instructions you provided on http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...OpenFOAM_2.3.x but now applied on the 2.4.x version.

I installed all the necessary ports as you can see below

Code:

 $ port select --summary

Name     Selected               Options

====     ========               =======

db       db48                   db48 none

gcc      mp-gcc48               mp-gcc48 mp-gcc49 none

llvm     mp-llvm-3.5            mp-llvm-3.5 none

mpi      openmpi-gcc48-fortran  openmpi-gcc48-fortran openmpi-mp-fortran none

python   python27               python26-apple python27 python27-apple none

python2  none                   python26-apple python27 python27-apple none

After going through all the instructions, I tried to run the blockMesh command in the terminal while being in the OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.x/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity directory but I was unsuccessful.

I got the following message:

Code:

$ blockMesh

-bash: blockMesh: command not found

I checked the other threads for tips, reinstalled all the necessary ports, tried to install other versions as well but I was not able to install OF on my computer. Could you please help me figuring out what went wrong in the installation of OF?
Thanks in advance!

I am running 10.10.4 and also failed to install both 2.3 and 2.4 version. With previous system version (10.10.2 I think) installation of 2.3 went nice and easy this time I get plenty of errors when building.

Anyone succeeded installing OF 2.4 on Yosemite 10.10.4? :confused:

Tried again with OF 2.4.0 and instructions (they worked on previous OS X version) from this website. Build failed again...

My ports config:

Code:

Name     Selected               Options

====     ========               =======

db       db48                   db48 none

llvm     mp-llvm-3.5            mp-llvm-3.5 none

pip      none                   pip27 none

OpenFOAM-2.4.x-Mac.patch works for me

Thanks for the patch. Works for me on 10.10.4 with MacPorts providing dependencies and gcc-4.9 compiler.

Some hints for those having trouble. Install the following via Macports:
scotch +gcc49 -mpich +openmpi
cgal
flex
metis +gcc49
ccache
bison
boost
qt4-mac

Make sure to create and use properly the case-sensitive journaled sparse image (documented elsewhere). I link the image mountpoint (usually in /Volume) to $HOME.

Edit ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/etc/bashrc as follows:

export WM_NCOMPPROCS=N # add this line, N from: "sysctl -n hw.ncpu"
export WM_COMPILER=Gcc49 # change compiler you want
export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI # check this, should be OK

Then,

Code:

cd ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/

source etc/bashrc

./Allwmake 2>&1 | tee build.log

Hi

Do you know how to install db 48 separately? I have it on my mac (10.10.4), but when I try to set it to a port, it says

Quote:

Selecting 'db48' for 'db' failed: The configuration file '/opt/local/etc/select/db/base' could not be opened.

It's like when it was installed, it never installed properly. Do you know how I can install it again?

Thanks for the help.

I think this is a macports question. You would probably have better luck asking on the macports-users email list.

the error message is obtained by compiling OpenFOAM on Mac YosemiteAttachment 41406

Hi,
I followed the instructions and everything compiled with no errors on OS X 10.10.5 with mp-gcc52. However, when running blockmesh for the cavity tutorial I am getting "Segmentation fault: 11". Any clues?

Installation works without selecting db48

Hi everyone,

first of all thanks for the patch!

I had the same issue with selecting db48. But I was able to install OpenFOAM 2.4.x on OX 10.10.5 by simply ignoring that error message :D.

I also used the "hints" from post #5

Hi. Following your hints and the only step I don't follow is this one.

I don't have a line in my bashrc file with "sysctl -n hw.ncpu". Can I insert the line you provided as is-and where would that be?-or is there any additional work that must be included?

You add the line

Code:

export WM_NCOMPPROCS=N

Where 'N' is the number of cpus on your computer. You can determine that by running "sysctl -n hw.ncpu" in a terminal. I added it to the top section where it says "USER EDITABLE PART", but it can go anywhere.
