make: Target "application not remade because of errors"

plz help me....wyldcat...or somebody

Quick question: Does it really have to be OpenFOAM 2.0.0? Can't it be 2.0.x, or 2.1.1 or 2.2.2?

I ask this because there are already instructions for:

• building OpenFOAM 2.1.1 on Ubuntu 16.10, which should also work in 15.10: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_16.10
• building OpenFOAM 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 15.10: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_15.10

If you really need to build OpenFOAM 2.0.0, then I will only be able to look into this in 1 or 2 weeks from now

Quick answer: Unfortunately you didn't state which specific installation instructions you have followed, so it's harder to diagnose the reason of the problem.
What I can state with certainty is that ParaView was not built from source code with success, which is why the latest Allwmake command didn't build the readers for ParaView.

To get a proper list of error messages for the build process of ParaView, please run the following commands:

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR

./makeParaView > log.makePV 2>&1

gzip < log.makePV > log.makePV.gz

The attach the file "log.makePV.gz" to your next post, if possible.


The other possible solution is for you to have another version of OpenFOAM installed, for example OpenFOAM 4.1 via Deb packages, as instructed here: https://openfoam.org/download/4-1-ubuntu/

Then you can have the two versions of OpenFOAM installed by following the instructions written here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...nFOAM_versions

The idea is that you then need to have two terminal/command line windows open:

• one window has OpenFOAM 2.1.0 activated, where you run the cases;
• and the other window has OpenFOAM 4.1, where you run paraFoam.

Quick note: I've finally managed to write and test the installation instructions for OpenFOAM 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 and are now available here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_14.04

I have not tested them on 15.10, but since you stated that you had switched to 14.04, it's the one I went with.

Respected sir Bruno
maybe u missed the one important point that i switched from
ubuntu 15.10 to ubuntu 14.04
and openfoam 2.0.0 to openfoam 2.1.0
i have installed Openfoam 2.1.0 on UBUNTU 14.04
and problem is PARAVIEW 3.12.0 which comes with openfoam 2.1.0 isnt installaing.
i ''l follow your post about attaching the log files maybe then it will be easier to fix the bug

[wyldckat]

Quick answer: I thought that you may have still needed OpenFOAM 2.0.0 and that you were using 2.1.0 as an alternative that you might have not be fully certain if it could be used for your work.

Either way, please do share the log file I requested for the build of ParaView, so that I (or anyone else on the forum) can diagnose what happened.
