Dear readers

I am new to Open foam, so please bear with me if the question is trivial. I am trying to create new BC based on advectiveFvPatchField and using rhoPimpleFoam solver.

Following standard procedure, I copied the solver files and advectiveFvPatchField.h and .C to a folder and tried to compile I am getting the following error:

make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/advectiveFvPatchField.o] Error 1

I think the error has more to do with C++ template definitions. I tried reading up on it and tried a couple of things by changing the template type name etc... but nothing has worked so far. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached the relevant files.

This is my make file settings:
rhoPimpleFoam.C
advectiveFvPatchField.C
EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/myRhoPimpleFoam

Thank you
