swak4Foam on OpenFoam-v2006?
 

Hi all,

Is there any chance to compile swak4Foam for the new OpenFOAM-v2006 release?

I gave it a try but with no success:

The log.make file reads:

Best,

Still trying to compile swak4Foam in v2006
 

Still trying to compile swak4Foam in v2006 after Bernhard announced that it is now fully functional.

I get the following fatal error:

You may have a look at the log.make file here

Hi Petros,

Did you ever manage to find the cause of this error? Getting the same message here trying to install swak4Foam on OpenFoam-v2006.

Thanks

Hi,

I can confirm that swak4Foam compiles smoothly with v2006 after Bernhard Gschaider's newer updates. Try:

I'm not 100% sure if the latest release (that would be the one pulled by your command) compiles completely with your command as it was released before v2006 (I did some adaptions according to the git that would become 2006 which compile most of it)


To be sure do
if the released version does not compile

Hi Bernhard,

I am trying to compile as well, but so far unsuccessfully:

I have tried:
1.Manually create the directory '/OF2012/OpenFOAM/user2-v2012/platforms'.
2.Apply "chmod -R 777 user2-v2012/".
Both can't solve the problem and the error message is the same.

Could you please give me a hint? Thank you in advance.

Ron

Problem solved!
 

If you meet the same problem you should apply echo $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN and check the returned directory. For my case it led to a wrong root directory. That's why wmake complains about the mkdir permission.
The solution for my case is to change the WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR in bashrc to right user directory.Then $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN will be corrected automatically.
I hope it will help someone.

swak4Foam download issue
 

Dear Mr. Ron.CC

Thanks for your sharing your experience. I am new OF user and try to download the swak4foam on OFv2012 but I have a error message as follows.
I used below command in my Ubuntu terminal:

hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/swak4Foam swak4Foam

Please see the attached snapshot of error message.

I have no clear idea what cased the problem.
It would be great if you can give me any comments on this issue.

That is a problem with your system (not with swak4Foam). Seems that a standard-library that is installed with OpenFOAM (the compiler in thirdParty to be specific) "shadows" the library of the same name that is installed in your system. Probably the library in your system is NEWER than the library from OpenFOAM an Mercurial complains because it wants the new library


Try downloading from a shell where OpenFOAM is not activated


For reasons like this I recommend NOT activating OpenFOAM in your bashrc automatically because it is possible with such a library mixup to lock yourself out completely


Last: PLEASE don't post screenshots of your error messages. Copy the text from the terminal and put it into a CODE-environment (the #-icon above). This makes it easier to answer your questions because people can copy-past from it and it helps other people with similar problems because the problem is found when searching for the error message

Dear Mr. gschaider

I do appreciate your kind and detail suggestions. I am in the middle of understanding your comments.
I am new to use Unix environment. Even though I have a experience of simply modifying the source code, but I still feel uncomfortable to work in Unix environment.

In addition, I am using the Ubuntu to run OpenFOAM. I have no idea how to get the error message on the Ubuntu terminal. That's way I made a snap shot.

Anyhow, I learn a lot thanks to your valuable help and suggestions..
Thank you again.

Sung

First: to get the error message from the terminal just copy-paste it like you would with any regular text


What happens is that when OF is "activated" it manipulates an environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH that tells Linux where to look for so-files (the equivalent to DLLs in Windows and Windows has a similar mechanism with the PATH-variable). Now your OpenFOAM-version (you never mention where you get these binaries from) bring their own version of libstdFoo.so in /opt/foo (instead of foo I could give you the correct names if I could copy paste them from your post but I can't copy them from your screenshot). There is a so-file of the same name in your system (probably in /usr/lib or /lib). But as the /opt/foo-directory comes in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH before that your system uses that one. Now the problem seems to be that the version on your system is Newer than the version in /opt/foo and a lot of programs (like your python in that case) rely on the newer version and fail because they stop searching after they found the old version


A lot of OF-installation-recipies recommend adding something like "source /opt/foo/.../etc/bashrc" to the ~/.bashrc so that you automatically have OF on your terminals. This is bad practice because it leads to problems like yours and in extreme cases can prevent you from logging in. I strongly recommend removing such a line from your ~/.bashrc (or similar file) and activate OF only when you need it

Dear Mr. gschaider

I don't know how to appreciate your kind and very helpful tips. You are the first expert to reply my question on not only prompt but also giving me a detail information. Your kindness and valuable comments are very very useful and guideline for the new OF users like me.
Typically, the prompt reply is very very helpful for me to get to the correction direction.
I have also many experience in OF to spend somewhat time to get the answer with wrong direction in this OF forum site due to delay of reply or no reply. To some point, I also learned it from my effort with non-successful result but the my working fund resources and boss does not allows me to do that (academical approach).

Anyhow, your comments will be big guide line for the other reviewers on this issue.

I needed additional computational source, so I downloaded OF2012 with ubuntu on windows. Couldn't compile swak4foam for hours, then I switched to OF2006 and now it compiles nicely. So, if you have problem with OF2012, switch back to OF2006.

Could you be a bit more specific about your problems? The latest release of swak4foam compiles with 2012 for me. If I don't hear about problems that some people might have in specific configurations it is very unlikely that these problems will get fixed

I can't reproduce error right now, when run finishes (it will probably take three-four more days) I'll do it and share it.

But what I remember was bison didn't compile, I downloaded it myself. There was no error with dependencies (I downloaded everything myself starting from "essentials") but I got errors like:
"/a/path/I/cant/recall/mybison not found"
"cannot create directory"
etc.

"Can not create directory" usually is an OS-problem. Usually

- a full disk
- user has no permissions to create that directory

Well problem was neither of those. Because it compiled with 2006 without that problems. I will share the exact errors when I can touch the PC again(cpu is overwhelming right now).

Sorry about extremely late reply, this was on a remote computer(not mine) and I was extremely busy with writing new paper, job interviews and PhD proposal... Anyway, after using
I got these errors. Exactly same procedure worked for v2006. Operating system was Win10, with bash on windows. I will probably never use OpenFOAM with windows(it was sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow), but I wanted to share the error anyway.

@gschaider

OK. The problem is that the build-scripts assume that the OBJECT_DIR-variable set up by the wmake-script points to a directory inside the Make-directories in the sources. Then the relative references like "../myflex" work (because they are in the Make-directories). In your case it points to a directory in the /home/erenc/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2012/build-directory and therefore the relative path doesn't work anymore.
I forgot when wmake makes the decision to compile to outside the sources. Either because some environment variables are missing. Or because things are compiled as root.
You don't compile as root (with sudo) by any chance?
