Hi,

I'm having a hard time compiling the OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.

The files are located in the "/opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext" folder.
I modified the bashrc file accordingly ---> foamInstall=/opt

Executing the command "sudo ./Allwmake" in the folder "/opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext " I receive an error message:

Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variable are not consistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

Strange, since if I execute pwd or echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR I get the same output - /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext

Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks!

Has anyone been successful at compiling OpenFOAM-1.6-ext on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty)

[Toorop]

Some strange additional information:

I've installed OpenFOAM 1.7.1 and Paraview 3.8.1 as the Ubuntu/Debian Pack Installation guide said on the official site. It works just fine, but If I recompile, the same error message will be thrown as with the 1.6-ext version. So neither of my OpenFOAM versions can be recompiled.

The foamInstallationTest script is wrecked as well in the "$WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin" folder (1.7.1).

Executing ./foamInstallationTest:
Checking basic setup...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FATAL ERROR: OpenFOAM environment not configured.

    Please refer to the installation section of the README file:
    <OpenFOAM installation dir>/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/README
    to source the OpenFOAM environment.

Nevertheless, I can still run the 1.7.1 solvers.

I don't know much about these ThirdParty stuff.

I'm an Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit user.

Thanks Toorop. I too have had 1.7.1 running on Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit but need to get 1.6-ext running. I'm only able to find the rpm package for 1.6-ext

I installed "lsb-rpm" on Ubuntu to get it to work with the git repository of rpm-packages.. Maybe it helps

[Toorop]

Hi lindstroem,

I got the 1.6-ext through git:

git clone git://openfoam-extend.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext

Would you be so kind as to detail the installation process of the "lsb-rpm" stuff. I also think that the Third Party installation is missing here. I only have Paraview.

Thank you!

[lindstroem]

Hi Toorop,

i just installed the package lsb-rpm additionally which means

apt-get install lsb-rpm

Then, as usual, went to the ThirdParty directory and ran ./AllMake and afterwords I built the sources. You maybe need some additional packages which I don't know by hard, but you'll find them via google. If it doesn't work, post some error messages..

Good luck

I've been partially successful installing 1.6-ext on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) but some solvers that I need don't exist such as pimpleDyMFoam. Any ideas why some things compiled (simpleFoam, icoFoam etc.) and others (pimpleDyMFoam) did not?

FYI: other packages I needed to install

lib-rpm
zlib1g-dev
flex
qt4-designer (via Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center)

[boger]

Can you try to compile pimpleDyMFoam again and see what the compiler says?

[cjz]

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldynamicFvMesh
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltopoChangerFvMesh
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[boger]

So in other words, some of the component libraries have not successfully compiled. When you did the "Allwmake" from the top of OpenFOAM, you should have seen errors to this effect. Probably best thing to do is to repeat that, capture the output (e.g. Allwmake >& log) and look for the first error.

Alternatively, cd $FOAM_SRC/dynamicMesh/dynamicFvMesh, compile there with wmake libso, and see what the compiler says about that, etc., until you get to the root of the problem.

[cjz]

Thanks very much for you help.

I installed python-dev (via Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center)

then recompiled Thirdparty and 1.6-ext and now at least pimpleDyMFoam runs.

Tank you Martin for this good installation and compilation script.

I just want to comment on the fact that I installing of the package rpm as I thought it was necessary on debian stable.

OpenFOAM-1.6-ext$ ThirdParty/./AllMake

Sadly I Stage3 as problem downloading:

I ad to download it from an other source:

Maybe it is a good thing to put in the top of the README.ThirdParty, fast instruction, the line procedure for compiling as it is relay streat foword as new way to compile every thing

$ cd OpenFOAM-1.6-ext
$ . etc/bashrc
$ ThirdParty/./AllMake
$ ./Allwmake

I will return a feed back if I run in any error with this script compiling this way it will also ave been tested on debian 6.0

I get a problem with AllMake.stage3 link to gmake. If you can help it will be appreciated.

Hi Nicolas,

I had the same problem (I use ubuntu 10.04). I created a symbolic link to make and it did the trick:

cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s make gmake

[Toorop]

Hi,

I have successfully got OF1.7.1 up and running via Source Pack Installation guide + some packages and forum tweaks, but I can't crack OF1.6ext. I think ThirdParty installation misses some stuff. I have added the metic pack as Nicolas suggested, but don't know how to resolve other errors. Any help would be appreciated!

PS: foamInstallationTest reports gcc conflicting installations. The soft link works fine with OF1.7.1, but this time it won't reconcile the script. Anyway, it won't to any bad to OF1.6ext as some stated here on the forums.

[lindstroem]

hi toorop,

as you said you have some problem with gmake. cant help you with that, sorry, but if not yet tried, look what matthieu said.

the last problem with building paraview should vanish with

export QT_BIN_DIR=/usr/bin

greetings

[nlc]

the error of gmake vanish with the symbolic link:

cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s make gmake

Thanks mathieu

But the tutorial test tutorials/incompressible/icoDyMFoam/turboPassageRotating
dos not seam to work properly did any bothy had this problem ??

(I modify it to run on 2 processor change decomposePar and Allrun -> runParallel icoDyMFoam 2)

Maybe, there is something I did rung in decomposing in t processor ??!!
the other work correctly : mixer2D movingBlockRBF movingConeTopo mixerGgi

Regards

[Toorop]

Some progress, finally!
With the instructions you suggested - QT_BIN_DIR and the soft linking between make and gmake - I was able to compile the ThirdParty package except for paraview. I have the same error now as post #96.

I have update the scripts as well cuz some urls in the AllMake scripts of the ThirdParty are out of date, maybe it helped as well, I'm not sure.

If I compile the 1.6ext with the current state, I get some solvers, which is great. I also receive some errors and the compilation stops at some point.

Thank you all for the great help!
