Hello,

I just uploaded the disk image (dmg file) of OpenFOAM-2.1.0 compiled on my macbookpro running lion (os 10.7).
Maybe someone having difficulty to compile or want to save some time can just use it.

I think after mounting the disk image, one can try to source the bashrc and run the foamInstallationTest to see if it works on your mac.

For future reference and to complement qzt's post, I think the following instructions should help people use this image (personally I haven't tested them ):

Is it still necessary to install these patches when installing OF 2.1.1 on a Mac 10.6.8?

Bernhard / Bruno,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

After trying many things and still failing and getting errors I installed mountain lion, latest version of Xcode and started again.

I am happy to say following all the instruction on this thread I now have a functional version of OpenFOAM.

Thank you for your help.

I'd think so. Yes (unless Mac support crept into the official release). They basically fix issues where headers are located differently on the Mac, the completely different dynamic linker and the completely different ABI (to allow tracebacks)

[BCD]

So, I've tried compiling a few times now with increasing success but something is still eluding me.
I can run blockMesh on a copy of a tutorial case but the icoFOAM command is not found.
Does any of this make you laugh?
Thanks.

here's what I've done so far:

Running Mac 10.6.8
OpenFOAM 2.1.1
ThirdParty 2.1.1
gcc4.2.1
Open MPI 1.5.3

I've edited the patch name to
ThirdParty-2.1.1-Mac.patch
and deleted the seven lines at the end preceding the
\ No newline at end of file
and applied it within the ThirdParty-2.1.1 directory

And applied these within the OpenFOAM-2.1.1 directory
OpenFOAM-2.1.x-Mac.patch
OpenFOAM-2.1.x-Mac-gcc46.patch

and finally I've edited the OpenFOAM-2.1.1>etc>bashrc file with:
export WM_COMPILER=Gcc46
ulimit -n 1024
export WM_NCOMPPROCS=2
and
just before the #-------- end of File
added
export WM_CC='gcc-mp-4.6'
export WM_CXX='g++-mp-4.6'

[wyldckat]

Did you check if gcc 4.6 is visible?

which gcc-mp-4.6
which g++-mp-4.6

[BCD]

Thanks Bruno,

from the prompt I get:

$ which gcc-mp-4.6
/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.6


and


$ which g++-mp-4.6
/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.6


does this help?

[wyldckat]

Mmm... OK, so my hunch wasn't correct

OK, then I suggest following the instructions from section "2.6.1 Diagnosing problems ": http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...osing_problems

[BCD]

here are some of the first error messages, which I read often hold the clues we need:

Thanks Bruno,
I really appreciate your wisdom & tenacity here.

wmake failed, here's the log,

BCD, you should have kept reading
See post #89: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post370256 - and see #90 as well, just in case...

Hi All,
Thanks to your guys for this awesome thread!

I have a question in compiling. Things seem to be fine in the beginning, but then it stops due to missing libraries. There are a lot similar messages, one of them is like

It says library libmultiphaseSystem.dylib can not be found. I checked /Users/user/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/platforms/darwinIntel64Gcc46DPOpt/lib and no such library is there.

I stick pretty much to the tutorial. Could you help me on this? Thanks a lot in advance.

My configuration is OS X 10.7.5, Macport Gcc46, mpirun 1.6.3.

Greetings Jollage,

Not enough information to work with
Please read the following section, since I don't feel like copy-pasting the whole section : 2.6.1 Diagnosing problems

Best regards,
Bruno

[jollage]

Hi Bruno,

thanks for your reply. The log file of make in my case is attached. Please change the file make.log1.zip to make.log.zip.001 and likewise for make.log2.zip. And unzip them in a same folder. The original log file is too big for the maximum filesize of uploaded files. Please have a look, thank you very much!

Cheers,
Mq

Hi Mq,

The problem is this:

Make/darwinIntel64Gcc46DPOpt/readSTLASCII.C:5963:8: error: prototype for 'size_t yyFlexLexer::LexerInput(char*, size_t)' does not match any in class 'yyFlexLexer'
/usr/include/FlexLexer.h:133:14: error: candidate is: virtual int yyFlexLexer::LexerInput(char*, int)
Make/darwinIntel64Gcc46DPOpt/readSTLASCII.C:5990:6: error: prototype for 'void yyFlexLexer::LexerOutput(const char*, size_t)' does not match any in class 'yyFlexLexer'
/usr/include/FlexLexer.h:134:15: error: candidate is: virtual void yyFlexLexer::LexerOutput(const char*, int)
Make/darwinIntel64Gcc46DPOpt/readSTLASCII.C: In member function 'int yyFlexLexer::yy_get_next_buffer()':

Looks like something is wrong with your flex version... To check which version of flex you have, run:

flex --version

Best regards,
Bruno

[jollage]

Hi Bruno,

The result is flex 2.5.35 Apple(flex-31). Which version should I use? Thanks.

Mq

[wyldckat]

Hi Mq,

Strange... flex 2.5.35 should do the trick... I suppose you should try the latest one from macports instead!

Best regards,
Bruno

[jollage]

Hi Bruno,

Indeed, I should use flex in Macport. Thanks a lot!!!

I don't have a clear clue about what is going on here (i'm new to linux), could you tell me what's the procedure of the compilation? What rule does flex play here?

It's awesome I finally have it running on my Mac. Thanks again.

Mq
