OpenFOAM Mac OS Mavericks
 

Hello there, I'm trying to install OpenFOAM 2.2.2 on Mavericks. I've done everything listed in this tutorial:

https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...nFOAM_Building

But when i run ./Allwmake 2>&1 | tee logName.log, i have some issues.

Error .log File (Image)
Attachment 36291

Someone help me please. This is my log file. Thanks!

Attachment 36290

Hi,

as the error is in CGAL interface, what is version number of CGAL library on your system? As 2.2.2 is rather old CGAL could change API in the newer versions, so you get compilation error.

Sorry but i don't know to much. Where can i find the cgal version?. I installed cgal with macports.

I found this: cgal seems to have been updated (port version: 4.5, new version: 4.5.1)

Problem not solved
 

Hello there, i applied a new patch. Now my problems are:

I don't know what to do. Help please :(. I need OpenFOAM to compile LIGGGHTS (CFDEM)
THKS!

Hi,

You can start by posting full log-file (as the part you've posted lacks the reason for the error). Also, as the tutorial you're referencing contains lots of links to the patches, you can specify what patch did you use.

Hi alexeym!

I applied a SurfaceCGALfix patch posted here (#54):
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...ac-os-x-3.html

With that patch some errors disappeared.

My last log file:

Thks!

Hi,

errors in your log-file:

#1

You don't have Atlas library installed. Guess, LAPACK_LIB variable contains this value. It is set in OpenFOAM-2.2.2/applications/utilities/surface/surfaceFeatureExtract/Allwmake script. Try installing Atlas using Macports. Or remove -latlas from the variable.

Same thing with surfaceFind utility.

#2

Problem with Make/options file for fireFoam utility, certain libraries are missing from EXE_LIBS line.

#3

Same thing as #2.

Other parts of OpenFOAM should be usable. If you can live without those utilities and solvers, you can proceed with building LIGGGHTS.

Hi alexeym, thanks for you patience.

I have some questions.

#1: I builded atlas using macports. My console looks like this:
Attachment 36370

But i noticed that atlas is using gcc4.9. But when i biulded OpenFOAM it's using gcc4.6. Do i have to configure atlas to work with other gcc version?

#2 & #3: You said that my library is missing. I'm not an expert building things in terminal. So could you be more specific please, what i have to do?. I'll appreciate that.

I'll be using LIGGGHTS (CFDEM) to simulate two-phase flow into hydrocyclone. if you think that i have problems with other solvers that matter in this case, tell me please.

Here it is my log file after building atlas.

I''ll be waiting for your answer.

Hi,

Attachment 36370 was lost somehow. Any way errors caused by absent Atlas disappeared from log-file. Ether you can leave everything as it is, or you can try to check if atlas port has gcc46 variant and build it with gcc46.

The only errors I was able to find in attached log file is of the following type:

Usually this is caused by absent -lcompressibleTurbulenceModel in Make/options. For example here's relevant part of Make/options for fireFoam:

On OS X usually you have to add -lcompressibleTurbulenceModel before -lcompressibleRASModels. I.e. Make/options should be something like:

This addition is necessary for fireFoam and SRFSimpleFoam.

As I've never built/used LIGGGHTS I can't tell you what problems you can encounter with it. Maybe you'll need to add -lincompressibleTurbulenceModel to Make/options of the solver and library.

Hi,

I'll let atlas work under defautl gcc version (not 4.6, i'll try to change it if i have problems with LIGGGHTS).

These lines
i have to run them with terminal or copy and pasty into sort kind of file. Sorry but i didn't understand that part.

Hi,

You have to go to $FOAM_APP/solvers/combustion/fireFoam, open Make/options file in editor and add '-lcompressibleTurbulenceModel \' line before '-lcompressibleRASModels \'. Then you run wmake in $FOAM_APP/solvers/combustion/fireFoam folder (it's rather strange that this change is not a part of the patches you've applied).

So in terminal it should be something like

Do the same thing with SRFSimpleFoam. Though, if you're not planning to use these two solvers I'm not quite sure these edits worth doing.

I run the code posted above, ending with this message:

Attachment 36372

Hi,

This time it's another library. Here's contents of Make/options from my installation:

Compare it with yours, add missing "-l..." lines (this time open file in editor), run wmake.

I the directory
$ cd $FOAM_APP/solvers/combustion/fireFoam
i opened the Make/options file with sudo nano .Make/options (or vi .Make/options) but this file is empty, it seems is a new directory.

hi alexeym, finally i found the file (make/options). it looks like this:
What do you think?.

Hi,

Obviously your EXE_LIBS line is shorter than mine. Backup your file, copy-paste mine, try to compile.

But again, you don't need fireFoam to compile LIGGGHTS. Maybe it's better to try to compile that solver instead fireFoam.

Hi alexeym!

fireFoam doesn't matter. I'm worry about compressible solvers
i't shouldn't be this:
My EXE_LIBS
i'll change that part, copy and paste your EXE_LIBS for:
then run wmake

will it make the difference?

Hi,

You've got several -lcompressibleTurbulenceModel in your options cause you've run sed command several times.

I've noticed that options content you posted is truncated. Post whole file, please.

Answering your question: no it will not make any difference.

Also, a) as you can see, all compressible solvers were built without any problems, b) LIGGGHTS uses incompressible turbulence models (as far as I can see by the options file in their git repository).

Hi alexeym

My file only has this content:
#1
Do you think that i'll not have troubles building LIGGGHTS with these errors?

#2
How can i fix this:
is it necessary?
