problem with third-part dependencies during installation
 

Hi,
I am having a difficulty on correctly installing waves2foam in OpenFoam 6 in mac Catalina. As instructed in the manual, initially I have installed the following third-party dependencies:

git --version
git version 2.25.2

whereis svn
/usr/bin/svn

gfortran --version
GNU Fortran (GCC) 5.2.0
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

gsl-config --version
2.6

After sourcing OPENFOAM environment, I have initialised the download process of waves2foam through the following link:
svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/svn/trunk/\
Breeder_1.6/other/waves2Foam

to the utilities directory of the OpenFoam directory:
/Volumes/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-6/applications/utilities

at the end of which I have encountered the following flag:
Checked out revision 2139.

I then moved to the bin/bashrc and correct the paths as follow:

export WAVES_DIR=/Volumes/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-6/applications/utilities/waves2Foam
I also point out that I convert the prepareCase.sh into an executable before the installation process began.

Then, I ran the installation command (./Allwmake inside the waves2foam directory), and I got the following error

Problems with the compilation of the third party dependencies
Exiting
========================================
It says that I have some issues related to third party dependencies, but I have properly installed all the proposed ones (see beginning of this post). The problem occurs at OceanWave3D, which the compiler can access through git.
Any advice?

I recompiled the code and I get a number of errors, the first one being:

waveTheories/regular/cnoidalFirst/cnoidalFirst.C:30:10: fatal error: 'gsl/gsl_sf_ellint.h' file not found
#include "gsl/gsl_sf_ellint.h"
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
wmake libso .
wmakeLnInclude: linking include files to ./lnInclude


At the end of the compilation process, I get the following:

make[1]: *** [/Users/kotsios/OpenFOAM/kotsios-6/platforms/darwin64ClangDPInt32Opt/bin/postProcessWaves2Foam] Error 1

Nothing available for compilation in the breeder

Many files are not found, and I do not know if this is related with the fact that, in order to install OpenFoam, I did my mac case sensitive.
Are there any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hallo Kostas,

Note that I am not supporting waves2Foam on that OpenFoam platform. The code should compile without problems on e.g. v1812 and v1912.

Kind regards

Niels

Hello Niels,
thank you very much for your response. OK, I will use another platform then.
Best,
Kostas

Could you successfully compile v1912 and waves2Foam in it?

Best Regards,
Akram

Hi Akram,
I havent tried it yet. I intend to install it on a cluster so i am waiting to obtain access first. When I will do it I will come back to you.

Best,
Kostas

Hi Kostas,

Thank you for your response.

Best regards,
Akram

hello,
I met the same problem. How do you solve this problem? (Problems with the compilation of the third party dependencies)

Hello foamers,

I am facing the same problem as you. I am using the OF2012. Did you manage to solve it? If so, can you explain what was the problem?
