Hello fellow foamers

I recently bought my first arm unit, more specifically a very small desktop called "trim-slice pro". It has arm version 7 (more precisely the NVIDIA Tegra2 Dual Core Arm Cortex A9 1GH). After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 I quickly started to wonder if it was possible to compile OF 2.2.x (using git pull) on it.

before the compilation I did the following:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake
sudo ln -s /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libz.so.1 /usr/lib/libz.so.1
sudo ln -s /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6

I did the above because /usr/bin/gmake, /usr/lib/libz.so.1 and /lib/libc.so.6 did not exist.

After about 12 to 13 hours of compiling (using "export WM_NCOMPPROCS=2"), everything seemed fine. The only problems occurs if I try to compile paraview, which is not really important.

There are no errors (except for paraview) in my wmake log file. However, when I go to the tutorial cases, it is as the binaries do nothing (the binaries do exist!). For example, doing a blockMesh in the icoFoam example gives nothing. Also, foam2vtk gives nothing. Nothing happens when starting icoFoam. The same applies for the other tutorial cases like interFoam.

Have any of you had the same problem?

Cheers
Jon

p.s. the wmake log file is from 2 days ago, from my last git pull.
