Those of you using OpenSource for their CFD-needs, working with a Unix-like operating system but who were tempted by the slick hardware to the dubious corporation with the fruit in the logo may be interested in these patches for the latest version of OpenFOAM that allow compiling it on Mac OS X.

Those who say "How dare you use this fine OpenSource-program on these evil machines" are of course right, I feel ashamed and mumble "But they look so good, they work so fine and as long as it is not in the AppStore Apple will not profit from this"

Anyway. To the point. The patch has the same functionality as the last one for 2.1 posted here:
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post412411
It is installed in the same way as the 2.1-patch described here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...enFOAM_v21_Mac

One note: the patch is supposed to create some symbolic links in wmake/rules but instead only creates files. So replace the file darwinIntel64Gcc4X (X from {2..8}) with a symbolic link to darwinIntel64Gcc

For thirdparty-software I rely on MacPorts. For the compilation I used from MacPorts

- OpenMPI
- gcc46 (gcc47 doesn't work for me, but your milage may vary)
- boost and cgal (these are optional. If found they will be used for surfaceExtractFeatures). Usage of these is new for this patch
- ccache (optional but highly recomended)

Contents of my ../site/2.2.x/prefs.sh are:

export WM_COMPILER=Gcc46
export WM_SCHEDULER=ccache

Feel free to experiment with other compilers

The only thing used/compiled from the original OpenFOAM-Thirdparty-software currently is scotch/ptscotch (as MacPorts uses an older version here)

Have fun and put your MacBooks into brown paper bags when you go outside so that the OpenSource-police won't spot you
