I thought to collect the correction to the bugs found up to now in OpenFOAM 1.4, to facilitate their correction.

Here there are a short description of the problem solved by this cumulative patch and the instruction on how to use it.

Date : June 11th, 2007
Applies to : OpenFOAM 1.4

Description : This package is a cumulative patch to solve the issue found till
now in OpenFOAM 1.4. The resolved bugs are listed below:

- Serious bug in backwardDdtScheme
http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...tml?1180777044
- Minor bug in CrankNicholsonDdtScheme
http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...tml?1179849129
- Problem of compilation. OF 1.4:Allwmake: command not found
http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...tml?1178802602
- Recursive "wmake all" doesn't find "Allwmake"

Installation instruction
------------------------

1. Extract the tgz archive with the command:

tar xzf OpenFOAM-1.4-patches-11_june_2007

2. Copy the directory "OpenFOAM-1.4" over your OpenFOAM-1.4 directory and accept
to overwrite the files when the system will ask you to do so.

For example, if you installed OpenFOAM in /home/you_user_name/OpenFOAM/, just
copy the OpenFOAM-1.4 provided with this cumulative patch in that directory.

3. Recompile OpenFOAM using the following commands:

foam
cd src
./Allwmake
cd ../applications
./Allwmake

Hi Ruben!

The missing of the demangle.h on non-OpenSUSE has been discussed before (use the search engine to find a solution). As an alternative (a demangle-less error.C) try the one published at http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...e_OpenFOAM_Mac (it should work for Linux, too). Maybe I already posted it to the board. Can't remember.

While recompiling applications
 

While recompiling applications, you also get an error when building PVFoamReader.

Just skip it and manually recompile the remaining directories (preProcessing, surface, thermoPhysical) by entering into them and using wmake all.

2 Bernhard & Alberto - many big thanks !

It is a distribution-specific issue, so it's better to do two packages, I think.

Where can I get the working error.C file for non-SuSE distributions?

Hi Alberto!

On the Wiki-page mentioned above. That error.C works with MacOSX and Linux (tested on Redhat)

(But you can always install binutils-debug to make the stock error.C work with your distribution)

Thanks Bernhard!

OK. Considering there's a solution for the specific distribution, I would prefer to leave this out of the patch package.

Moreover I find Novell SLE/openSUSE a lot more user friendly than Red Hat/Fedora, and I think it should be the platform of choice for OpenFOAM users :-)

With kind regards,
Alberto

As I tried, changed error.C needs for RedHat/Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu distributions, and only openSUSE has no problem. It seems to me, that it shoud be added (with corresponded commentaries) to patch.

It gives no errors so...

However, spinlock.h is in /usr/src/linux-2.6.xx/<platform> but also in /usr/include/linux.

I don't have libc_private.h on my openSUSE 10.2 64 bit.

The same situation - libc_private.h is absent, spinlock.h in /usr/include/linux, but for why and wheather they need to fbsdmalloc ? Problem with libiberty.a i solved with copy one in OpenFoam-1.4/lib/linuxGcc4DPOpt (minimum action).

After recompiling /application i'll try to perform calcs.

@liberty: In my experience tha
 

@liberty: In my experience that is not needed when using the Mac-error.C (the name Mac is a bit misleading (you can remove it from the wmake/rules): it supports Linux as the "main" architecture). Which is good because for me liberty introduced some nasty glibc-downwards-incompatibilities (but that was a very special problem between my workstation and our cluster: stuff compiled on one of them wouldn't run on the other)

@spinlock.h: I guess that's OK. The only problem seems to be that wmkdep tries to find headers that are never used during compiling because they're guarded by #ifdef

What extension should libfbsdm
 

What extension should libfbsdmalloc have : (.o) or (.so) ? Now, without spinlock.h & libc_private, it have .o extension. So, if spinlock.h & libc_private.h would be commented with // - libfbsdmalloc will have .so extension ?

Suggestion : in file /home/rmukhamadeev/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4/src/malloc/fbsdmalloc/fbsdmalloc.c performs changes :
/* # include "libc_private.h" */

in spite of now:
# include "libc_private.h"
# include "spinlock.h"

One more bug to correct is some versions of flex++ don't like "]]" in several .L files. Putting a space between the brackets (ie. changing them to "] ]") will fix it.

To recompile PVFoamReader I downloaded & install cmake (I see it in Allwmake in correspond directory), but make process was stopped with :

+ cd PVFoamReader

It fails with the following output:
