Dear Niels,

Thank you very much for sharing waves2Foam.

I am encountering a problem on compiling your waves2Foam using the default Allwmake. The log shows everything is fine, but an error, which is "The file /bin/prepareCase.sh is not executale", appears when running waveFoam tutorial through Allrun command. As I tested, the command, cd $WAVES_DIR, doesn't work at the same time.

BTW, the command, wavesFoam -help, works, so I supposed that the waves2Foam I have should be compiled under waves2Foam r2042 and OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.

Can you please help me tackle this problem and run the tutorials?

Thank you very much in advance, and looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards,
Zaibin

Good evening Zaibin,

Read the second part of the error message. Namely, that you should make the file executable.

You can use the command

chmod

and for instance

chmod a+x prepareCase.sh

Kind regards

Niels

Hi, Niels
When I try to run the waveFlume tutorial by Allrun, I notice that the same message appears as Zaibin mentioned. And the question is solved by the above command.
Yet the message is " The file /home/bowlderster/waves2Foam/src/bin/prepareCase.sh is not executable.", but the file is located at /waves2Foma/bin. Maybe somewhere should be revised a little, but I don't know.

After that, Another question appears as attached.
It seems something is wrong about Reading waveProperties.

I got it by other tutorials.

I am looking for the answer.

Good morning,

It appears that I had not been testing on a clean svn-repository. I have now added waveProperties.input to the waveFlume tutorial.

Furthermore, I have changed the compilation process, so prepareCase.sh should automatically be made executable.

Thank you for reporting the bugs,

Niels

Dear Niels

I did the same as you told. But the error did not change. Although in prepareCase.Sh properties the permission is allowed.

What should I do?

Dear guys I found a solution for my problem. I write it here for others which may need it.

first: use ./Allwclean and ./Allwmake for recompiling the waves2Foam again!

Second: Never Never copy the tutorials on desktop. Just Run them in their main folders.

It doesn't show that error again and examples compile correctly.


Hope it works for you too!
