install OpenFoam 1.6 by building source: how?

Dear Foamers,
I am experiencing problems while building OF 1.6 from source. I tried several times and failed. I followed the README but still found something is not so clear in it. The following are what I trying to do, what I understood about the README and what confused me: I want to install OF 1.6 by completely building from the source, both OF 1.6 and the third party stuff. I downloaded OpenFOAM-1.6.General.gtgz ThirdParty-1.6.General.gtgz and extracted the packages following the README without problems. My system is i386/i686 with SLED 10 SP2, gcc 4.1.2. The gcc is too old according to the doc. I need a gcc 4.3.3. We have a gcc-4.3.3 source in the ThirdParty dir. The following is the Allwmake script in the top-level install dir: -------------- #!/bin/sh cd ${0%/*} || exit 1 # run from this directory set -x # wmake is required for subsequent targets ( cd wmake/src && make ) # build ThirdParty sources ( cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR && ./Allwmake ) src/Allwmake applications/Allwmake if [ "$1" = doc ] then doc/Allwmake fi # ----------------------------------------------------------------- end-of-file It seems it will build all the third party source before building openfoam. If so, gcc-4.33 would be built before building openfoam. Would that mean I could use my system native gcc-4.1.2 to build third party stuff (including gcc-4.3.3)? Or I must install a gcc-4.3.3 binary first in the designated dir: $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/ThirdParty/gcc-<GCC_VERSION>/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/ ? The gcc-4.3.3 binary would build everything, even including the gcc-4.3.3 in the third party source? Thanks in advance. Niudie |

Hi Niudi,
What are the error messages you get? I also had these problem and I just went line by line through the make scripts and found some libraries missing (in my case the binutils and zlib development packages). I installed them and it worked. Best regards, Gijs |

Hi Gijs,
Thanks for your reply. Very often the error message as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------ ... ... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfiniteVolume collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [/home/guo/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/sonicLiquidFoam] Error 1 make[1]: *** [sonicLiquidFoam] Error 2 make[1]: Target `application' not remade because of errors. make: *** [compressible] Error 2 Making dependency list for source file dsmcFoam.C /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmeshTools collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [/home/guo/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/dsmcFoam] Error 1 make[2]: *** [dsmcFoam] Error 2 make[2]: Target `application' not remade because of errors. make[1]: *** [dsmc] Error 2 Making dependency list for source file mdEquilibrationFoam.C /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmeshTools collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [/home/guo/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/mdEquilibrationFoam] Error 1 make[2]: *** [mdEquilibrationFoam] Error 2 ... ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ and many lines like above. I used gcc-4.3.3 from the third-party binary pack. Seems that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with something wrong, or the libs never built. I am currently going through line by line the make tree. I would appreciate your advices or tricks. Best regards, Niudie |

Hi Niudie,
I had the same trouble. In the OpenFOAM Wiki it says that these errors of "cannot find -lsomething" goes away after a second compilation run. That didn't work for me and I went step by step through the Allwmake file in src. Along the way I found that I missed flex, installed it and compiled step by step. Best regards, Gijs |

I made a short-hand guide, which you actually can run as a script (I take no responsibility for a complete screw-up, though) here: http://hvirvel.com/installOF
I just checked it under a new and clean user account in Ubuntu 9.04. Please let me know if it works (if you haven't managed otherwise). If you do not have an apt-get-Linux, the apt-get line should hint what libs are needed. /Mads

Hi Gijs,
The installation by building source is done. The problem resulted from missing the third-party source ( I should have read the README more carefully). building openfoam source needs something from the third party source, otherwise libs like decompositionMethods wouldn't be built and a lot of further building steps would get errors of missing libs. Some important points as below: 1) needs a gcc-4.3.3, I used the one from the third-party binary packaged. 2) the third-party source must be present in a correct path as defined in the bashrc ( in etc/). Thanks for your discussion and hints. Best regards, Niudie |

Hi Mads,
Thanks for your script. I solved my problem before reading your post. I may try your script in another computer with RHLE and share the infos. Best regards, Niudie |

Hi Niudie. Super.
I've just updated the apt-get section of the script with a few more libs that was needed. /Mads

Hello there:
First time user here! I have been trying to figure out how to get wmake and the make script "distclean" from Debian Lenny (or any distro for all that matter). When I did a makeall on the ThirdParty stuff, it kept complaining either about wmake or having no idea what to do with "make distclean". Perhaps someone could lend a hand? I have been at this for the last three days Thanks a million, Bart. |

May I suggest:
1) install Ubuntu 9.10 from scratch 2) run the OpenFOAM installation script found in my signature, line by line 3) foam away /Mads

Hi All,
I'm compiling openfoam1.7.1 on cluster using intel as compiler and openmpi-1.4.3, However , I encountered this error HTML Code:
+ wmake libso mpi make: *** No rule to make target `/home/44792/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.1/platforms/linux64Gcc/openmpi-1.4.1/include/mpi.h', needed by `Pstream.dep'. Stop. ...... icpc: command line remark #10279: option '-xT' is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. See '-help deprecated' lnInclude/pTraits.H(71): warning #597: "Foam::pTraits<PrimitiveType>::operator Foam::vector() const [with PrimitiveType=Foam::vector]" will not be called for implicit or explicit conversions operator PrimitiveType() const ^ detected during: instantiation of class "Foam::pTraits<PrimitiveType> [with PrimitiveType=Foam::vector]" at line 87 of "lnInclude/Field.H" instantiation of class "Foam::Field<Type> [with Type=Foam::vector]" at line 146 of "lnInclude/edgeI.H" lnInclude/pTraits.H(76): warning #597: "Foam::pTraits<PrimitiveType>::operator Foam::vector &() [with PrimitiveType=Foam::vector]" will not be called for implicit or explicit conversions operator PrimitiveType&() ^ detected during: instantiation of class "Foam::pTraits<PrimitiveType> [with PrimitiveType=Foam::vector]" at line 87 of "lnInclude/Field.H" instantiation of class "Foam::Field<Type> [with Type=Foam::vector]" at line 146 of "lnInclude/edgeI.H" I've changed the $WM_COMPILER=Icc, and I've changed $MPI_ARCH_PATH=/usr/mpi/intel/openmpi-1.4.3 Also, I've changed the ~/.cshrc, and sourced that. This could be due to the previous failure when I'm trying to compile using ThirdParty-1.7.1, However, I was told that in cluster, if I want to use parallel computing, I'd better use the system openmpi and compiler, so how can I clean the previous stored path? Any help will be highly appreciated, I've been stucked here for a while. |

BTW, I've tried to compile use default gcc/openmpi, but the pre-installed gcc is just 4.1.2, way too old for openfoam1.7.1, since I don't have the root right, I can only try intel as compiler.
the icc version is 12.0.0 |

Hi Charlie,
It looks like you're having Pstream trouble. You need to set WM_COMPILER etc, as you did, but also provide some wmake rules so that the compiler can find the mpi libraries on your system. Have a look here how I rigged up wmake rules to make OpenFOAM compile.

Thank you very much for you reply.
It think that's what I need. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know the result. |
