groovyBC & OpenFoam 1.7.0
 

Hi,

i'm using OF1.7.
I would like to install groovyBC and downloaded it from

https://openfoam-extend.svn.sourcefo...ries/groovyBC/

Unfortunetaly I got tons of errors like:

Do you have any ideas how to install it proberly?

Thanks in advance

Toni

This looks like a very fundamental problem with your compiler and/or your installation. Have you ever compiled anything else for that installation?

I just tried and groovBC from the 1.6-section of the Breeder compiles without problems on my 1.7.x-installation

Bernhard

Hi Bernard,

thanks for your quick reply.

Hm... what do you mean? The whole OF1.7 installation is working probably.

What else to I have to compile?

Toni

Have you ever compiled any other Third-Party-contribution? It is my suspicion that you're facing the same problem there. OR that you stumbled upon a very rare compiler problem (unlikely, but what compiler are you using)

Bernhard

I compiled ParaView3.8.0 and it worked.
I'm using Suse 11.2 with gcc 4.4.1

Sorry. I was a bit unspecific. I meant "ThirdParty-OpenFOAM software that has to be compiled using wmake". Some solver, util etc

Bernhard

No.
I just followed the official installation instructions for OF and recompiled the icofoam solver because i changed the code.

Strange. Because the file that raises the error is not one of groovyBC

As I said, this was just an example from the whole error message. Overall i got thousands of errors but all with the same pattern (see the attached file).

What else could i have done wrong?

1. I updated Bison on 2.4.1
2. I downloaded the files from the path I mentioned above
3. I unpacked the files in a separat folder (no OF path)
4. I typed "wmake libso" in the groovyBC folder

OK. The trouble starts here:

For some reason you're compiling PatchResult.c (with a lowercase c) where it should be PatchResult.C. The compiler/wmake interprets this as a C-file and chokes at some C++-constructs (probably the namespace)

Bernhard

Hi Bernard,

thanks for Reply.
I changed all .c-files to .C-files. After that I had to edit also all the .dep-files.
Than i started wmake again.

No luck so far... i attached the error message.

No idea. It still gets compiled as C
but at least now the compiler seems to know that this is a C++-source
Looks like the Pstream was included but for some reason not "looked at".Try the following. Execute
from the command line. If that doesn't help insert
near the beginning of PatchValueExpressionDriver.C

Something is very strange with your setup

Bernhard

I tried both with no success...
Inserting #include "Pstream.H" changed nothing.

Could I suggest that you try again from a completely fresh copy of the sources (by downloading it in the way suggested on the Wiki-page via svn) as you had to rename your original files and nobody knows what else is lurking there

Bernhard

Oh my god! It works!

I'm sitting behind a powerful firewall. That's why I'm not able to use the svn command from the terminal. I have to download it by hand. Maybe I messed something up while I downloaded and saved the files.

Sorry, Bernard, if I wasted your time with that.
Thanks for your help anyway.

There is an alternate Webinterface to Subversion on Sourceforge.net that allows to download whole directories as tar-balls (click around a bit, should be accessible from the project-page)
Could we agree on "Your IT-department wasted both of our time by denying you access to essential services on the net"?

Hm... couldn't find anything like that.

Jepp, we could do that :D

http://openfoam-extend.svn.sourcefor...-extend/trunk/

Browse to the directory you want and press "Download GNU tarball"

I down loaded from this link
just typed on terminal as
svn checkout https://openfoam-extend.svn.sourcefo...aries/groovyBC

for this I had to first install subversion as
$ sudo apt-get install subversion

before this I was downloading groovyBC from some other link ...that was creating error as
make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/PatchValueExpressionDriver.o] Error 1

the link mentioned above is from wiki and works well...
