Compilation error with OF 2.1.x
 

Hello,

I tried to update my OpenFOAM 2.1.x so I typed

and then

This way I updated my OpenFOAM 2.1.x several times since I installed it. It always worked, until now.

Unfortunately, the compilation produces some error messages and stops.

Some errors are about files which aren't found:

DataEntryFwd.H
MapDimensionedFields.H
ParticleTrap.H


and some errors are about "undefined reference"

Foam::polyMesh::clearAdditionalGeom()
Foam::pointMesh::typeName
Foam::polyMesh::movePoints()

After the unsuccessful compilation some commands, presumably those affected by the compilation errors, are not found anymore.

Greetings Gerhard,

It's somewhat simple: new files were added to the main OpenFOAM library. The simplest fix is this:
When it finishes building, you can run Allwmake once again. Whenever you see that a library does this, you can perform steps similar to these.

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks for the reply.

In the mean time I found a bug report about my problem and there the same solution is explained.

I should have been googling a little longer before posting my problem here.

EDIT: It is you who (wyldckat) who posted the solution in the bug report. The world is a small one.

There is still the error about the missing file particleTrap.H

OK, this time it stopped on this command:
Since I don't know by heart the location of this library, this is what I would do:
Then cd to the given folder and do:
Then back to Allwmake :D

I did it the brute force way

It took a while, but now it is working again.
