I want to trace (with vampirtrace) some solvers of OpenFoam. For the beginning I just use icoFoam. For this I have to compile all the libraries I want to trace as static libs (wmake lib instead of libso).

Some useful hints about static linking I got from this old thread Case-insensitive unpacking and windows/macos by By Niklas Nordin on Wednesday, August 17, 2005 - 05:55 am.

Unfortunately I get the same errors

--------------------------------------------------

Default patch type set to empty


--> FOAM FATAL ERROR : Unknown polyPatch type wall

Valid polyPatch types are :

cyclic

Function: polyPatch::New(const word&, const word&, const label, const label, const label, const polyBoundaryMesh&)
in file: meshes/polyMesh/polyPatches/polyPatch/newPolyPatch.C at line: 66.

FOAM exiting

Are there any hints to get rid of this unknown patch problem. Maybe from the windows-port guys (or are they able to worke with shared libs now?)
