[OpenFOAM.com] Can't build ParaView in v1912 after changing from OpenFOAM.org (v7)

fanta · February 24, 2020, 03:54

Hi,
i used to use OpenFOAM.org v7 with ParaView, but i want to try out OpenFOAM.com v1912. So i downloaded both packages (Thirdparty v1912 and OpenFOAM v1912). I extracted both packages in my home directory and changed my bashrc to the v1912.
I have successfully build OpenFOAM but i fail to build paraview with ./makeParaView.
The error (after ./makeParaView) i get is:
./makeParaView: 64: local: -DWM_DP: bad variable name
./makeParaView: 64: ./makeParaView: -DOPENFOAM: bad variable name
i don't know what is wrong here. Who can help?
