latest OpenFOAM-1.6.x from git failed to compile
 

Hi,

I downloaded latest OF-1.6.x from git today. It failed to complete compilation on openSUSE 11.1 (and 11.2) 64 bit OS.

Two failed areas are (the text is too long, so I deleted some lines):

Hi Pei,

I pushed a change to 1.6.x so it now checks for linux64 before linux. (the problem was that tecio thought it was being compiled for 32bit). It should now have an additional
-DLINUX64 on the compilation line.

Thanks for reporting,

Mattijs

Thanks Mattijs!

I got the latest from git and it worked without a problem.

Happy New Year!

Pei

Hi, Mattijs,

The OF-1.6.x is still failed to be recompiled in IA64 Linux system. Errors prompt like

Thanks and happy new year.
chiven

In the $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/dataConversion/foamToTecplot360/tecio/tecsrc/Make/tecioOptions can you try adding a line for linuxIA64:

Can you let me know if this works.

Thanks,

Mattijs

Hi, Mattijs,
I added the line for linuxIA64, and recompiled OF-1.6.x, but still failed. Sorry about that.
Best regards,
Chiven

Check your compilation line. Does it have in it

-fPIC -DLINUX -DLINUXI64

OK, I shall check it tomorrow. Now, I go back my dormitory. Thanks.

Chiven

Hi, Mattijs, I check the compilation line, "-fPIC -DLINUX -DLINUXI64" is NOT contained in the compilation line.
Best regards,
Chiven

Hi Pei-Ying

I understand from your post that you successfully compiled OpenFOAM on open suse 11.2
I am trying to do the same, but the Allwmake displays a long list of error messages and the compilation is aborted. All error messages refer to 'GLIBCXX_3.4.11 not found and it is required by....'
it seems that all OpenFOAM modules refer to this GLIBCXX_3.4.11
Could you please detail how you solved this problem? (Yes, I have Open SUSE 11.2) and using google lead to no solution so far.

Thanks and good luck to all

Happy Holidays to all

Hi,

There is already a thread on this. But, basically, I did the following to resolve the problem:

cd /home/USER_NAME/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6.x/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64
sudo mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.orig
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.10 libstdc++.so.6

sudo mv libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.orig
sudo ln -s /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1

If it still failed. Try to install gcc43 to see if it helps.

Pei

Hi Pei-Ying
I remember seeing that post, it is just I cannot locate it, so I am following your post, the last step seems to be incomplete, what is the name of the soft link you are creating, could you check that with your notes
Thanks a lot

Open SUSE 11.2 and OpenFOAM, getting rid of (GLIBCXX_3.4.11 not found error message)
 

using Yast, I was able to search for libstdc++ on my computer, checking the technical data for each one, I finally found that libstdc++44 provides this GLIBCXX_3.4.11 (/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 and /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.12),

so here are the steps I followed:-

1- cd OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6.x/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux64/lib64
2- mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.original
3- ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6

Now when I start compiling OpenFOAM I do not get this dreadful error message. A step forward better than yesterday.

To compile the OpenFOAM, I have to run another script, i.e. Allwmake, here is what I do:-
1- cd OpenFOAM
2- cd OpenFOAM-1.6.x
3- ./Allwmake > error.log

This last line is supposed to collect all messages produced during compilation (so I can check what other errors are being produced and trying to solve them)
But this does not happen, the file collects parts of the messages but not all.
I need to read all the messages
How could I modify step 3 in order to collect every thing that appears on the terminal window
Could you please try and help me
I will appreciate any hints
Thank you and Good luck to all
May the year 2010 be happier than 2009 for all


................... Open Source for ever ..............

./Allwmake > error.log 2>&1 &

Thanks Lin, I got a better answer from a good samaritan out there, here it is

3- nohup ./Allwmake
that will create a file called nohup.out

Thanks and good luck to all

Hi Chiven,

you can try moving the linuxIA64 clause to be the first one in the tecioOptions file.

The tecioOptions file gets included into the Make/options file. The result of this gets written to the Make/linuxIA64XXX/options file. Use this to see which options are being used.

Compiling OpenFoam on OpenSUSE 11.2 64 bits
 

The following is a repeated sample of the error messages I got when I run the Allwmake

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenFOAM
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [OpenFOAM.out] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/applications/utilities/thermophysical/mixtureAdiabaticFlameT'
make[1]: *** [mixtureAdiabaticFlameT] Error 2
make[1]: Target `application' not remade because of errors.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/applications/utilities/thermophysical'
make: *** [thermophysical] Error 2
make: Target `application' not remade because of errors.

1- Is there an explanation to Error 1 or Error 2 or to why ld cannot find OpenFOAM ?
2- Is there a missing file on OpenSUSE11.2 ?

Hints will be appreciatted

Good Luck to all

This probably means that you missed the actual error much further up in the log: libOpenFOAM.so failed to compile and link. To see the problem in isolation, try the following

Michael

Hello Michael
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. First, here is the out put from the command
ahmed@linux-z5ms:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x> wmake libso $FOAM_SRC/OpenFOAM
g++: no input files
make: *** [libNULL.so] Error 1

I am not sure why or how g++ is returning the no input file message. I checked the $FOAM_SRC/OpenFOAM folder and it is full of subfolders and xxx.c files

I looked again the log file, and here is the first occurence of this same error message

+ wmake libso ParMGridGen-1.0/MGridGen/Lib
'/home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libMGridGen.so' is up to date.
+ wmakePrintBuild -check
version changed from previous build
+ /bin/rm -f 'OpenFOAM/Make/linux64GccDPOpt/global.?'
+ wmakeLnInclude OpenFOAM
+ wmakeLnInclude OSspecific/POSIX
+ Pstream/Allwmake
+ wmake libso dummy
g++: no input files
make: *** [libNULL.so] Error 1

and the other error messages have the same pattern, i.e.,g++:no input file
What do you think?

What does the file $FOAM_SRC/Pstream/dummy/Make/files look like?

it is a 68 Byts file, and its contents are

Pstream.C
IPread.C
OPwrite.C

LIB = $(FOAM_LIBBIN)/dummy/libPstream

these three files are available into the folder OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/src/Pstream/dummy

Michael, I guess I understand what you mean, so if g++ cannot find these files it is because an environment variable or variables are not correctly defined.

After that failed compilation, I ran the foamInstallationTest utility, and there are critical variables that are incorrectly defined, here is the output

Right now, I am a bit confused, these variables are assigned during the compilation based on the bashrc definitions and the settings.sh and no intervention from my side, what might have caused this to happen to me.
truly, I will be glad to receive your reply

Good luck to all, and thanks again

The only thing in your listing that is strange is FOAM_APPBIN. What does it point to? But anyways, I would be very surprised if that was the reason...

To me it seems as if wmake wasn't able to correctly read/preprocess Make/{options,files}. What does $FOAM_SRC/Pstream/dummy/Make/$WM_OPTIONS contain? Does the file filesMacros exist in there, and what are its contents?

Michael

I guess you are on the right track, the file filesMacros is an empty document (0 bytes)
Well it is not the only one, the files contained into the directory
$FOAM_SRC/Pstream/dummy/Make/$WM_OPTIONS are
1- dependencies 24B {dependencies up to date }
2- dependencyFiles 16B {DEPENDENCIES = }
3- dontIncludeDeps 0B
4- files 0B
5- filesMacros 0B
6- includeDeps 0B
7- localObjectFiles 17B {LOCAL_OBJECTS = }

chris
