I'm trying to compile OpenFOAM 1.4.1 with paraview 2.4.4 (cmake v2.4.8) on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10.1

I've followed the document at:

http://openfoamwiki.net/non_cdl/OpenFOAMWiki/index.php

and everything goes fine until the last step where I execute ./Allwmake from my OpenFOAM directory. The first build error seems to be:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfiniteVolume

Anyone have a solution? Thanks.

I didn't mention before that the machine arch is x86_64. I found some posts on this message board where people were having similar problems and a couple of them said to go and manually compile things so I've been tracing back the errors trying to compile the root of this evil and it's led me to the src/triSurface directory.

Inside that directory I run wmake and receive:

SOURCE=triSurface/interfaces/STL/readSTLASCII.L ; flex++ -f $SOURCE ; mv lex.yy.cc Make/linux64GccDPOpt/readSTLASCII.C ; g++ -m64 -Dlinux64 -DDP -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wold-style-cast -march=opteron -O3 -DNoRepository -ftemplate-depth-40 -IlnInclude -I. -I/home/crdc/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude -fPIC -c Make/linux64GccDPOpt/readSTLASCII.C -o Make/linux64GccDPOpt/readSTLASCII.o
/bin/sh: flex++: command not found
mv: cannot stat `lex.yy.cc': No such file or directory
g++: Make/linux64GccDPOpt/readSTLASCII.C: No such file or directory
g++: no input files
make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/readSTLASCII.o] Error 1

There looks to be 3 things that are failing, flex++, lex.yy.cc, and readSTLASCII.C

I added flex using YaST and went into the triSurface directory and compiled that manually. After that I re-ran Allwmake and there seems to be new progress. I'll update on the next error (or hopefully not).

Here I am again unfortunately. This time the error looks like it occurs on vtkFoam compilation,

SOURCE=vtkFoam.C ; g++ -m64 -Dlinux64 -DDP -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wold-style-cast -march=opteron -O3 -DNoRepository -ftemplate-depth-40 -I/home/crdc/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude -I/home/crdc/OpenFOAM/linux64/paraview-2.4.4/include -I../PVFoamReader -IlnInclude -I. -I/home/crdc/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude -fPIC -c $SOURCE -o Make/linux64GccDPOpt/vtkFoam.o
In file included from vtkFoam.C:38:
../PVFoamReader/vtkFoamReader.h:40:30: error: vtkDataSetSource.h: No such file or directory
vtkFoam.C:39:35: error: vtkDataArraySelection.h: No such file or directory

and it carries on with similar "No such file or directory" errors for several .h and .c files that begin with vtk.

No, all is one failure: find and install flex++ on your computer. Then, making sure that which flex++ shows something sensible, go to src and type ./Allwmake. Everything should build without problem.

Regarding the vtk/paraview failure, you will need to compile paraview locally. Detailed instructions are in:

http://openfoam-extend.svn.sourcefor...trunk/Core/Ope nFOAM-1.4.1-dev/buildInstructions.txt?view=markup

Enjoy,

Hrv

I installed flex++ and continued with the instructions at the link that was provided by Hrvoje and the next error I get is about a missing ParaViewLibraryDepends.cmake file:

To get around the last error and finish compilation I had to find the files (ParaViewLibraryDepends.cmake and CMakeCache.txt) and copy them into the directories that were complaining. Thanks for the help with pointing me at the right document.

Geoff,

where did you find those files?

(trying on RHEL5 64-bit)

Please disregard my previous message. I am still trying to figure out how to do a proper installation of OpenFoam. I'll read the instructions on the wiki page, and if I have trouble (& don't find the problem discussed here) I will post.

Sorry for the noise,

Mirko

Have a look here:

build instructions

This should help you to build OpenFOAM and all necessary tools on your system from scratch.

Enjoy,

Hrvoje,

I apologize for being obtuse as I was not able to find the site for development (except at http://powerlab.fsb.hr/ped/kturbo/OpenFOAM/release/). I tried the CVS on sourceforge but it seems empty.

Thanks,

Mirko

maybe:

Let's see if that works :-)

Just for the record: the build instructions are generic, with minimal changes to software versions etc. You do not need to download the dev version to do this, any old version will do (+ some brains).

Look at it as a kind of step-by-step rather than an attempt to produce a canned build script.

Good luck,

Hrv

Hrvoje,

I was able to compile the -dev version using your instructions, after removing the dx-related directory (I was not able to install dx at this time).

My only issue is that the compilation used the system gcc (4.1.2) instead of the one that I downloaded with OF. I will look into that later (I did find some posts).

Thanks,

Mirko
