Thanks for the hard work by Petr,Brooks,
Niklas,Cresswell,etc on making OpenFOAM work in Cygwin. I try to follow the method described in the web: http://files.dpdx.net/openfoam/cygwi...M-Cygwin-HOWTO . However I have some troubles to locate the followings files

1) OpenFOAM-1.2.General.gtgz
2) Patch file:
OpenFOAM-1.2.Cygwin.patch.gz
3) Compilation and pre-install scripts:
gccCompile.sh
preInstall.sh

If you have these files, would you please kindly send me a copy or let me know where to download those files. My email is wang3400@wlu.ca Many thanks,

Wang

Wang -

The document that you reference is Petr's original description of a very early version of the Cygwin port; at this point it's quite out of date.

The current version of the installation process is described on http://dpdx.net/openfoam-cygwin/. Simply download the four .tar.gz files from that page that are listed under "Current Distribution" (or the ones under "Past Distribution", if you prefer to use OpenFOAM-1.2 rather than OpenFOAM-1.3), and install them with the following set of commands, or something similar:

cd $HOME
mkdir OpenFOAM
cd OpenFOAM
tar -xzf ../OpenFOAM-1.3.cygwin-src-0.5.tar.gz
tar -xzf ../OpenFOAM-1.3.cygwin-bin-0.5.tar.gz
tar -xzf ../OpenFOAM-1.3.Docs.tar.gz
mkdir cygwin
cd cygwin
tar -xzf ../../gcc-4.1.0.cygwin-OpenFOAM.tar.gz

(This assumes that you downloaded the four files to your $HOME directory. If not, change the file references accordingly....)

Once you've done that, you should set up your .bashrc file or .cshrc file as described in the installation directions for the Linux distribution on the main OpenFOAM website. That should be all that you need to do.

Hope this helps,
- Brooks

Now I am trying to port your OpenFOAM-1.3 with cygwin to win-XP , I follows your instructions above and it works fine. But when I wanted to recompile OpenFOAM directory for obtaining OpenFOAM.dll, I have got the error as following:

"chFields.o slipPointPatchFields.o symmetryPointPatchFields.o processorPointPatchFields.o globalProcessorPointPatchFields

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/home/Liqiang/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/lib/cygwinGcc4DPOpt/libOpenFOAM.dll] Error 1"

I think it maybe is the LD_LIBRARY_PATH's bug, so I tried to add "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32", However it doesn't work yet.

Please help me. Thanks in advance!
Best regards

The "user32" library is a Cygwin system library, which should be in /usr/lib/w32api/lib as the file libuser32.a. If that's not there, then you need to install the "w32api" Cygwin package.

I've added this to the list of dependencies on the webpage.

I have just installed the "w32api" Cygwin package, It has been in my /lib/w32api/lib dirctory. But when I tried to recompiled foamToGMV again, instead of OpenFOAM for saving-time. I have got:

Is there some reason that you think there's still something wrong? Those are all "Info" messages, not error messages, and are perfectly normal.

Did you check to see if a new foamToGMV.exe file got created?

(If you are still having errors as well as the info messages that you posted, the reason is probably because your previous compilation attempts deleted the original libOpenFOAM.dll file, and you haven't replaced it by recompiling it. But you need to post the error messages, not the info messages, for me to tell. If there are a lot of them, just post the first few.)

haha! you are right. Just as what you said, libOpenFOAM.dll file had been deleted. Now I re-construct it and all package have worked perfectly.

Thank you for your contributions to OpenFOAM community.

Good luck to you!
