[foam-extend.org] Multiple build flavors ... no out of tree?

wohlbier · May 26, 2016, 18:17

I'm fairly new to building foam-extend-3.2, and have managed to get it to all work out. However, having multiple concurrent build flavors seems to be problematic.

For normal development work I typically have an optimized and debug build for each compiler I commonly use. At the minimum this is 4 builds, 2 for gcc and 2 for intel. Since foam-extend-3.2 doesn't seem to support out of tree builds this amounts to, unless I am missing something, 4 different repository checkouts and a build under each one? I'm not sure my disk quota will allow me to go up to 60GB ...

Thanks.

I see now that the build files are maintained within the tree under the flavor of the build, e.g., Linux64IccDPDebug. In that way one can have separate bashrc files for each flavor and maintain separate builds within the same tree. At least that's how it appears to work.
