https://openfoam.org/download/2-0-0-source/

Quick answer: Very interesting... I'm only seeing issues with compiling with Flex... try running the following commands:

Code:

#Go into OpenFOAM's main source folder
cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
 
#Change how the flex version is checked
find src applications -name "*.L" -type f | xargs sed -i -e 's=\(YY\_FLEX\_SUBMINOR\_VERSION\)=YY_FLEX_MINOR_VERSION < 6 \&\& \1='

Then run Allwmake the same you've done before.

Dear Bruno
Thanks a lot for your reply
I run the commands and i still see a lot of error. The new errors have been reported in the attached file.
I want to run the HACFOAM program and it is the reason why I should install the OpenFoam2.0.0.
can anyone help me how to solve this problem?? I have searched in the web a lot but i can not find any things.

Thanks a lot

Quick answer: I didn't notice it on the first log file (edit: the first log did have it), but this:

Code:

no ThirdParty sources found - skipping

indicates that you did not download and unpack the "ThirdParty-2.0.0.gtgz" package in the correct location. The unpacked folder is meant to be placed next to OpenFOAM-2.0.0, e.g.:

OpenFOAM
- OpenFOAM-2.0.0
- ThirdParty-2.0.0

This is necessary because Open-MPI 1.5.3 is needed for building with this version of OpenFOAM.

Dear Bruno
I am very appreciative of your notification.I did it but I did not make the source again from the first because it take a lot of time (about 4h). I make the source on the previous one (about 5 minute) but also i have a lot of error.

OK, what at first seemed like a fairly simple fix with OpenFOAM 2.0.x, is now an ever expanding list of problems with compiling 2.0.0...

I will not have time before the upcoming weekend to test this myself and work through the issues to write a wiki page on this topic. My best suggestion right now is that you install Ubuntu 14.04 inside a virtual machine and follow the instructions given here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_14.04
It's not a great solution, but it's the quickest one I'm able to provide right now.

If you can wait until this upcoming weekend (17-18 of November 2018), I may be able to look into this myself in more detail.

Dear Bruno
I appreciate your prompt response to my question. If it is possible for you to write a wiki page on this topic, i prefer to wait until 18 of November but I also try to install it on Ubuntu 14.04 as you suggested.
thanks a lot

Dear users
I tried to make the openfoam-2.0.0 on ubuntu 14.04. At first I tried to do it on ubuntu for i386 in virtual Box and it worked correctly.
I follow:https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_14.04

After that i decided to make openfoam-2.0.0 on ubuntu 14.04 for x86_64 on a real machine. But I got the errors.
can any one help me to solve the problem???
Thanks a lot

just looking at the first line:

Code:

gcc-4.4-4.4-4.4 -m64  -Wall -O3   -fPIC dirToString.c -o /home/alireza/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.0.0/wmake/platforms/linux64Gcc44/dirToString

you have some how messed up how OpenFOAM reads the gcc version, it should be:

Code:

gcc-4.4

not

Code:

gcc-4.4-4.4-4.4

probably executing one command multiple times at step 7?
check these two files here:

Code:

OpenFOAM-2.0.0/wmake/rules/linux*Gcc44/c
OpenFOAM-2.0.0/wmake/rules/linux*Gcc44/c++

See the first two lines of your log file:

Code:

gcc-4.4-4.4-4.4 -m64  -Wall -O3   -fPIC dirToString.c -o /home/alireza/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.0.0/wmake/platforms/linux64Gcc44/dirToString
make: gcc-4.4-4.4-4.4: Command not found

There is an obvious typo in the compiler definition. Correct that by removing last 4 4s and retry.

Dear Daniel
It is working.
Tanks a lot
