I try to compile OpenFOAM 1712 from source code on linux mint 18.All components are successfully finished except cfmesh.Cfmesh is a new module .Error message will like these below:

What branch of cfMesh are you using? AFAIK, the development branch should compile as reported in the following thread

Compiling cfMesh with OpenFOAM 4.x

[Thomas Zou]

I dont now ,newest openfoam 1712 has included cfmesh , may just use built-in version.

[Ya_Squall2010]

Has anyone solved this issue? I got similar compilation error on building cfmesh in OF-v1712.

I get the same error.

[spaceprop]

Just to follow up. OpenFOAM appears to work despite the error. I'm guessing anything that requires cfmesh will not work, though.

This thread: Compiling cfMesh with OpenFOAM 4.x shows people grabbing cfmesh from v1606 and compiling it for use with OpenFOAM v4. I haven't tried it because I don't really understand how that works, but that might work.

[spaceprop]

Oh. Has anyone filed a bug report for this yet?

edit: I just filed one

Thanks for filing the bug-report (problems note here in the forum tend to get easily missed).
I think that the problem noted is related to 64-bit label sizes and should be addressed by this commit (5-JAN-2018):

https://develop.openfoam.com/Communi...367fd9565ad8ae

I can confirm this fixed my problem.

Before building openfoam:
1. Delete the cfmesh folder in your download.
2. Clone the whole master branch of cfmesh to "cfmesh" in the same location that you just deleted the old cfmesh from.
3. Build openfoam normally.

I think you can probably compile it after openfoam is built using the instructions in the cfmesh readme.
