I'm doing an installation of OF2.2.2 using the Source Pack, downloaded from here.

Then you can ignore these messages (if they are the only ones). Patch is usually developed/maintained against the git-version (which is usually more advanced than the latest release)

Problems with 2.2.x latest built
 

Dear all,

now it hit me trying to get a running copy of the last OpenFOAM 2.2.x built from
with the patches provided by Bernhard. I put a new sparseimage, fresh git clone from the repository, checked the installation of boost, cgal, flex, bison, ccache, gcc46, openmpi-1.7.2-gcc46 etc., put a fresh copy of ThirdParty tools. Then I applied the two patches below, followed also http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...OpenFOAM_2.2.2 and started compiling.
I noticed quickly that openmpicc was not used by allwmake for building Scotch. So I had a look at the patches and not being an expert I applied also the newMacPortsMPIThirdParty.patch. The second run openmpicc was used. However, as soon as finishing ThirdParty tools there is a strange gcc error occuring that I never had before:

I put only four of dozens of these messages. Compilation fails completely, not even the 'platforms' folder is generated. Does anybody know this error by chance? I checked already printenv a dozen times, everything seems fine. Also GCC 4.8 I tried with the same result. The full allwmake log file can be downloaded here:

I would really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Michael




SOLVED: Bloody damn stupid beginner mistake: disk image was not case sensitive. Layer 8, right in front of the machine. -.-

It's a good thing that I'm two days behind with answering the message board stuff. It's much more satisfying to find the mistake yourself, right? ;) (and my first impression was "looks familiar, but I can't remember what the cause is")

Dear Bernhard,

one day I'll show you our archive of keyboards and desk tops, the ones with the bite marks...

However, could you please let me know what should be the setting for WM_MPLIB with your patches? I added the full patch and newMacPortsMPIThirdParty with 2.2.x and I get:

Not exactly the same procedure as very year, rather something new. At least for me ;) Available are right now GCC 4.6 with OpenMPI 1.7.2 and GCC 4.8 with OpenMPI 1.7.2

Cheers,

Michael

This one?
http://fatpenguinblog.com/wp-content...tyKeyboard.jpg
(No. The patch does not hack your webcam. I was only guessing ;) )

That's the point with the latest version of the patches: it looks at /opt/local/bin/mpicc and determines from that which MPI-version to use (and sets WM_MPLIB)

That confuses me a bit: with the new MacPorts there is no (open)mpirun anymore. A mpiexec that points to the default MPI and a number of executables of the form mpiexec-openmpi-gcc46.

Are you using an outdated MacPorts (do a "port selfupdate; port upgrade outdated") or a self-compiled OpenMPI (honorable but I can't help you there. I avoid compiling stuff)?

Dear Bernhard,
thanks for your comments. I did a complete selfupdate and upgrade of the outdated stuff, a lot of things have been relinked. The following run of Allwmake was successful. However, I dont see any mpicc use anymore in the log file as before.
And I agree with you on the compilation stuff. That is why I avoid regularly to get the newest port and git version: it creates more trouble than it helps usually.
In the end I did a

and now everything works. For the keyboard, famous and known for years. But we don't smoke in our offices anymore...

Cheers,

Michael

Have you set the default MPI with "port select"? Of course then it is still called "mpiexec"

Yes, of course. Both, MPI and GCC:

As long as it works now I don't care for the name of the (data) manager :-)

makefile for scotch
 

Hi all,

I'm trying to install open foam on my macbook. I followed all the appropriate instructions in wiki page. once i did the './Allwmake 2>&1 | tee logName.log', I found some errors and the first error says 'Error: Scotch needs an appropriate makeFile.inc'. I don't understand whats wrongs and what i have to do next.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Did you apply the ThirdParty-patch? That should add that make-file. And that line is not very much maybe it is said before that WHICH file is expected

I applied the third part patch. these are the exact lines from the log file.

No idea. Makefile.inc should be a symbolic link to ../../etc/wmakeFiles/scotch/Makefile.inc.i686_mac_darwin.shlib-OpenFOAM but that test seems to fail ("scotch need an appropriate ...")

scotch compilation issues after using the latest full patch (2014-02-17 version)
 

I am having the same problem with scotch.

The scotch Makefile is present and accounted for and I also checked its contents in the appropriate linked location, but despite that, scotch is not being compiled. It still creates a dummy scotch and ptscotch library. I have applied all patches, and made all the softlinks and all serial runs work.

I am using the latest MacPorts in 10.10 Yosemite. There are no more openmpi files.... everything is mpirun-openmpi-mp and mpicc-openmpi-mp etc. Im wondering if this is the issue?

Below is a snippet showing just the scotch and ptscotch compilation part and its errors:

Installation on Mac El Capitain
 

Hello everyone

I'm experiencing some problems trying to install OpenFOAM 2.2.2 on MAC OS El Capitain. I followed the tutorial http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...OpenFOAM_2.2.2.

I used the patch OpenFOAM-2.2.x-Mac_2014-02-17.patch but it says:
Marcos-MacBook-Pro:OpenFOAM-2.2.2 ferra_marco$ patch -p1<OpenFOAM-2.2.x-Mac_2014-02-17.patch

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

and so on for other command line like that.

Instead ThirdPart patch runs without problem.

Then, if I go on the tutorial and I try to make ./Allwmake I have many errors. It seems I do not have a:

I enclose my log file.

I hope someone can help me.

Installing openfoam 2.0 in macbook showing error
 

hai friends,

I would like to install openfoam 2.0 in mac.
While installing i got the error that i mentioned below.
Anyone can give the idea or link to solve the error is helpful for me.


./Allwmake: 4: ./Allwmake: wmakeCheckPwd: not found
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.


Thanks in advance.

The problem (and the solution) is self explaining. Your environment variables are not correctly configured. Did you correctly sourced the etc/bashrc file?
