Folks, I tried to build OpenFoam v2006, but found the following error.


I am using Ubuntu 18.04. I have followed the system requirement instructions (https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...quirements.php) and foamSystemCheck says I can continue to installation.


Here is the pertinent part of the log file:

wmake objects moveDynamicMesh
g++: error: /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2006/build/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/applications/utilities/preProcessing/PDRsetFields/PDRsetFields/PDRsetFields.o: No such file or directory

I have attached the log file below. Also the output of the foamInstallationTest. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ery,


I ran into the same error when trying to compile v2006.



I got to compile OpenFOAM running the Allwmake script with '-k' flag (ignore errors). The first pass I got error warnings not only about PDRsetFields, but also regarding the applications where OpenQBMM libraries were involved.


After this first pass, if tried to run the tutorial case in $FOAM_TUTORIALS/preProcessing/PDRsetFields/simplePipeCage, and had no troubles.


Later I performed a second run of Allwmake, without -k flag. This time the log had no errors reported.


Let me know if this worked for you.

The problem was that the Allwmake for PDRsetFields was not managing the wmake '-q' (queuing option) properly. This has been fixed in the master branch. The simple solution is to compile without the '-q' option.
Adding the '-k' option will simply have compilation keep-goong (ignoring the failure). If you don't need PDRsetFields, it won't matter either way which solution you pick.

Noob here...

I found that when using Allwmake with the -q option not only resulted in the error described above but meant that openfoam commands were not being recognised (e.g. icoFoam, blockMesh...)

Building the code again but without the -q option seems to have resolved the issue (although this took much longer to run).

Hope this helps somebody in a similar predicament.

This was fixed in the master branch a while ago. But you can (or should?) just use the Ubuntu binary packs.
