I successfully installed 1.2 and 1.3 before, but when I try to install 1.4.1 I got only as far as this:
zania@spectr:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1$ ./Allwmake
+ cd wmake
+ ./makeWmake
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
+ cd src
+ ./Allwmake
+ cd /home/zania/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/src/OpenFOAM
+ wmakeLnInclude .
+ wmake libso zlib-1.2.1
g++: no input files
make: *** [libNULL.so] Error 1

But the files are there. If I change "libso" for "all" it start to complile some files.
What could be the cause of this problem?
Thanks,

I have located where the problem occurs. It is during the execution of the scripts MakefileFiles.
Some files are generated but are empty.
Why?

I have tried everthing I can think of but with no luck. I still get the message g++ : no input files.
Why such a change in wmake between 1.3 and 1.4.1?

Can anyone gve me a hint to a solution?
Thanks

Hi Allan

I am not sure whether I could be able to help you to the solution nevertheless please let me know the following.

-Linux platform, if SUSE which version

-Where did u get the 1.4.1 distribution from; powerlab or openfoam.org

-did u pass the foamInstallation check b4 u start the compilation

As far as my knowledge goes there is no such difference which could lead to this error if you have passed the foamInstallationTest.

If you foamInstallationTest gives some error then post it here as i doubt something is wrong with the location of your gcc compiler and hence the g++ error

Let see what can we achieve together :-)

Happy Holidays

Thank you for your reply.
I am using Slackware 10 distro.
I downloaded from openfoam.org
By fiddling with some system file links, i managed to get it to run without compiling, but this is not mush use if I cannot compile,right?

I've tried to do a recompile on version 1.3 and it still work well.

Since I am not using any remote, do I need ssh?

Hi Allan

I am not sure about that FATAL ERROR related to ssh. I was expecting that the cause of error might be due to location but then i saw you error message again and it says

********************
zania@spectr:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1$ ./Allwmake
+ cd wmake
+ ./makeWmake
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
+ cd src
+ ./Allwmake
+ cd /home/zania/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/src/OpenFOAM
+ wmakeLnInclude .
+ wmake libso zlib-1.2.1
g++: no input files
make: *** [libNULL.so] Error 1

********************************

so in a way it is unable to locate the input files.

I am no expert so will advice you to take a layman's approach. Make a fresh OpenFOAM directory structure i.e :

OpenFOAM
|__linux64 (can be linux if 32 bit platform)
|__src

Basically the name of the 1st folder depends upon the platform and the architecture and one should look into the .OpenFOAM.1.4.1/bashrc to make sure that it is correct.

download just the source code i.e
OpenFOAM-1.4.1.General.gtgz

and the trinity which is required for other stuff i.e
gcc-4.2.1.linux64.tgz
paraview-2.4.4.linux64.tgz
j2sdk1.4.2_05.linuxAMD64.tgz

Place all that into your src directory.

Now untar your OpenFOAM-1.4.1.General.gtgz into
OpenFOAM. and the other stuff into linux64(linux) directory.

Run foamInstallation check. for correcting the error related to java please take a look into the OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/.bashrc file. In there under the java section you can rectify the cause of this warning.

Let me know what your foamInstallation spits out.
