I tried compiling swak4Foam develop branch with a OF-dev commit. But got encountered with the following error related to swakDataEntry:

In file included from makeSwakDataEntry.C:38:0:
swakDataEntry.H: In instantiation of ‘Foam::tmp<Foam::Function1<Type> > Foam::Function1Types::swakDataEntry<Type>::clone() const [with Type = Foam::SymmTensor<double>]’:
makeSwakDataEntry.C:54:1:   required from here
swakDataEntry.H:128:72: error: cannot allocate an object of abstract type ‘Foam::Function1Types::swakDataEntry<Foam::SymmTensor<double> >’
             return tmp<DataEntry<Type> >(new swakDataEntry<Type>(*this));
                                                                        ^
swakDataEntry.H:80:7: note:   because the following virtual functions are pure within ‘Foam::Function1Types::swakDataEntry<Foam::SymmTensor<double> >’:

Seems the parser library (which is required for all the swak utilities) doesn't get compiled, and therefore nothing else is compiled!. I have also attached the log file for the detailed error.

FYI, I am using a successfully compiled OpenFOAM-dev (940e28 commit released on 2017-08-24) which was after the OF-5 release

[EDIT] I think someone else already posted it on the forum before with the same issue, but the simple answer was OF-dev is not supported as of now!

5.0 was released on 2017-07-27. Your dev-version is one month newer

Which branch you using: only the develop-branch supports 5.0 (not the default-branch. I haven't done real release for some time)

Currently the develop-branch of swak4Foam supports the latest releases of the three major forks (OF 5.0, v1712+, foam-extend 4.0). I don't have the time to track 3 development versions as well (for my work I stick to releases)

It may be possible that your problem can be solved by tricking the compilation into thinking that this is v1712+. Because that is based on OF-dev and might already have the changes from your OF-dev-version

@gschaider Thanks for the quick reply! I’m using the develop branch of the swak4Foam from your GitHub repo.

Can you tell me where should I make changes to let wmake trick into thinking that it is v1712+ ? I can give it a try!

The script maintainceScripts/makeFoamVersionHeader.py detects the version of OpenFOAM. For + it does that by looking into wmake/rules/General/general. Not sure if editing that wouldn't break other things. Modifying the script to write a PLUS-version would be another option. Or bypassing the script in the installation process and hand-editing foamVersion4swak.H. But you're on your own here: if you're using a dev-version I assume that you can do that kind of stuff yourself.
