I have tried to install LaminarSMOKE on my system. The system that I'm running on is debian stretch. I have successfully installed of1806+ and ParaView on my system. However, when compiling one of the folders of LaminarSMOKE, I received this error:

-lOpenFOAM -ltriSurface -lmeshTools -lfiniteVolume -lmeshTools -o /home/hafiz/OpenFOAM/hafiz-v1806/platforms/linux64GccDPInt64Opt/lib/libboundaryConditionsOpenSMOKE++.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltriSurface
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
/home/hafiz/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/wmake/makefiles/general:163: recipe for target '/home/hafiz/OpenFOAM/hafiz-v1806/platforms/linux64GccDPInt64Opt/lib/libboundaryConditionsOpenSMOKE++.so' failed
make: *** [/home/hafiz/OpenFOAM/hafiz-v1806/platforms/linux64GccDPInt64Opt/lib/libboundaryConditionsOpenSMOKE++.so] Error 1

I can't seem to figure out where this error comes about. I have the latest flex installed in my system. I tried similar problems from other forum posts but apparently they don't work as well. Please help!

Hello Hafiz

Following message means linker cannot find the triSurface library probably because it wasn't compiled properly:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltriSurface

If it was compiled successfully, you'd have a file called "libtriSurface.so" in the $FOAM_LIBBIN directory which is where the linker checks. So for me it looks like this:

$ ls $FOAM_LIBBIN/libtriSurface.so -l
OF-5x/platforms/linux64Gcc48DPInt32Opt/lib/libtriSurface.so

Presumably you don't have that library file in that location.

If you have log file from the compilation, take a look at it and see why it failed.

To compile triSurface library:

 $ grep -irn "libtriSurface" src/*
src/triSurface/Make/files:40:LIB = $(FOAM_LIBBIN)/libtriSurface

You need to go to the $FOAM_SRC/triSurface directory and run "wmake libso".

Hope this helps

The lib was unavailable in OF1812, that’s why I got the error. Anyways, I changed it to OF6 and it was compiled successfully!

Well, now I got this error when compiling another solver:

radiationModels/fvDOM/radiativeIntensityRay/radiativeIntensityRay.C: In member function ‘Foam::scalar Foam::radiation::radiativeIntensityRay::correct()’:
radiationModels/fvDOM/radiativeIntensityRay/radiativeIntensityRay.C:245:9: error: no matching function for call to ‘solve(Foam::fvScalarMatrix&, const char [3])’
);

In file included from /home/hafiz/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-6/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/scalarMatrices.H:171:0,
from /home/hafiz/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-6/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/dimensionSets.H:39,

I'm not really sure what to do here. Apparently, I do have the header file required. How can I fix this problem?

The triSurface library has been absorbed into the surfMesh library, so it's not needed any more.
