Compile Thirdparty-2.3.0
 

Hello. After posting here : http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...oam-block.html I've decided to compile OpenFOAM from source. I followed : http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php and succesfully compiled OpenFOAM-2.3.0. However, when I try to install Thridparty programs ./makeParaView4 give me an error :
I do understand what it means. So I once again checked my ~/.bashrc at end I add(before i compiled OpenFOAM) and it worked:
I checked /etc/bash.bashrc nothing, .bashrc @ root nothing. When I am opening new terminal tab I see:
This is execution of bashrc I think.
I am very disoriented what is happending and why it is not sourced from ~/.bashrc as I wanted.

I put packages in /opt/OpenFOAM, untared and installed.

Your source tree is in /opt/OpenFOAM/, while it is looking for /home/jils/OpenFOAM. Please check /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/etc/bashrc, and check all references and variables for consistensy to where you have put it.

Thank you for your reply, it helped. However, I got an error during the compilation :

I noticed paraFoam command is tabbing so I followed :
I went to this dir cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers and I tried to execute ./Allwmake script.
I assume it's fault with directory path to the ParaView-4.1.0. Can I manually edit enviromental variable :
And replace them to this:
It should do the trick right ?

Ok. I succesfuly compiled OpenFOAM(..again) and ParaView. But I got error when I try to compile Readers.

Greetings to all!

@seav: OK, I'm a bit lost on how exactly you've reach to this point, but from what I can figure out:

1. This folder:
   Code:

   ---

   /opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.3.0/platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-4.1.0/include/paraview-4.1

   ---

   If it does not exist, then that means that ParaView was not built with success. Which is why you get the error about the missing "vtkPoints.h".

   This means that QtWebKit is missing. A very similar bug report was made the other day: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1219 - On openSUSE the problem is solved if we install:
   
   Code:

   ---

   libQtWebKit-devel qt4-assistant-adp-devel qt4-x11-tools

   ---

   Problem is that I have no idea what the names for these packages are in ArchLinux :(

   The correct tell-tale sign is actually to try tabbing "paraview", because paraFoam is only a wrapper script for calling paraview and opening the ".OpenFOAM" file.

   Sorry, but not a good idea. That is only a hack to attempt building the plug-ins, even though ParaView has not fully built yet. If point #2 is fixed, then this hack is not needed.

Do you know if Manjaro is similar enough to ArchLinux? Because if it is, then I can try to give it a try and write build instructions for it.

Hello Bruno, nice to see you here :).

1. I have been deleted previous install.
2. I did download again the soruces.
3. Followed http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php again.
4. After succesfully compiled OF I went to ThirdParty programs folder.
5. Used ./Allwclean && ./Allwmake commands.
6. Paraview was compiled. I can run it from terminal. It gives me the same error what compilation from AUR package(libpng warrning: iCCp: Not recognizing know sRGB profile that has been edited). However it works.

After that I got an error when I tried to use paraFoam. I've got this message:
I tried check if OpenFOAM works fine I wanted check cavity case :
Here I got an error :
I think its becouse Readers are not compiled, but I might be wrong.Becouse :
Unfortunately Manjaro's webside claims that Manjaro Linux and Arch linux are different kind of "beasts". So I've figured solutions for Manjaro might not work..but I will try everything to get OpenFOAM and Paraview working fine on my Arch.

OK, two details:

1. Building the readers for ParaView should be performed as root, since you installed OpenFOAM as root.
2. When in normal user mode, follow the standard procedure for using your own copy of the tutorials: http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php

   Code: mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS $FOAM_RUN cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity blockMesh icoFoam paraFoam

As for ParaView, what does this command give you?

As root the error is the same :

Hi seav,

I don't know what it is, but something is not right with the installation of ParaView. Knowing the details of how you built ParaView 4.1.0 would be helpful.
Anyway, let's try this - as root:

1. Run the makeParaView4 script once again and be sure to use the same options you used before, but add the option "-no-config", along with piping the full output into a log file:
   Code:

   ---

   cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
./makeParaView4 -no-config > log.makePV 2>&1

   ---

   Since this doesn't won't redo the configuration, it means that it will reused the last building procedure from the "build" folder. It will make it easier to spot any errors.
2. Check the contents of the file "log.makePV" and look for errors. If possible, please attach the log file (in zip or tar.gz), so that I can also have a look into it.

In addition, what modifications did you make to OpenFOAM's "etc/bashrc" file, if any?

Best regards,
Bruno

Thank you for your replies. It was very useful and helpful.

After moment without an idea I decided to install previous version. And I have found what I`ve missed in paraview4.1.0.

I've used ./makeParaView -qmake $(which qmake). That was my big mistake. I bet that package in Arch User Repo is wrong configured with Qt.

I have installed OF-2.2.2 since its work and everything is fine including paraFoam -block option.

Thank you once again Bruno.
