Think it was that that version of flex++ does not like ']]'. Put space inbetween any two angle brackets in gambitToFoam.L

Hi Mattijs,

Had the same problem on an Ubuntu (debian based) machine.

Also change:
ansysToFoam.L

as suggested by Mattijs.

Had a similar problem when trying to compile a new viscosity model (should give a new library). The error message is:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function `_start':

Followed by a bunch of other error messages

Can anyone help?

Use 'wmake libso' if you are c
 

Use 'wmake libso' if you are compiling a library.
A plain 'wmake' will attempt to create an application, which requires 'main()' and yields a failure if it is missing.

Hi,

I know this is a really old thread. But i get a similar error. I am not compiling a library, just a solver. However, I still get this error message.

Any help?

Greetings Srivaths,

This isn't enough information to work with, so here are some questions, to help isolate the source of the problem:

1. Which Linux Distribution are you using and which architecture (32 or 64 bit)?
2. What installation instructions did you follow for installing OpenFOAM 2.1.1.?
3. Do you have more than one OpenFOAM version installed? If you do, how are you keeping them apart?

Best regards,
Bruno

Hello Bruno,

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit system. The 2.1.1 version was on a cluster that i'm running my cases on.

I would like to say that I've got the issue resolved. It was a beginner's error and I just didn't spot it initially.

Thank you for your time.
