Hi,

I am trying to get the OF-1.4 utility patchTool working but I can't seem to get PatchToolServer to compile I get an error about -lssl:
+ cd PatchToolServer
+ wmake

At the moment, I can get the patchTool GUI to open but I cannot load a case as it says the PatchToolServer is not running.

I'm not sure if it is connected but when I was recompiling OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev, some of the solvers and libraries didn't compile and gave the error about ‘yyFlexLexer’.


+ wmake libso triSurface
Making dependency list for source file triSurface/interfaces/STL/readSTLASCII.L

triSurface/interfaces/STL/readSTLASCII.L:55: error: no ‘int yyFlexLexer::yywrap()’ member function declared in class ‘yyFlexLexer’


I found this mentioned on the forums but there was no real solution given and the things suggested didn't work for me (changes in readSTLASCII.L file).


I would be very happy if anyone could give me hints on how to get PatchToolServer to compile or explain anything about '-lssl'. I have tried a few things like updating mico but to no avail, hopefully someone can help.

PHEW got it working!

I don't really know what the problem was but since I thought it was some missing package on my OpenSUSE 11.0, I checked looked at other compilation errors on the forum and packages that needed to be installed, so I installed a few through YaST2 and then PatchToolServer compiled!

The packages I installed were the following:
binutils
binutils-devel
bison
qt3-devel

I think it is one of these.


BTW I realise I only posted the question an hour ago, I actually thought I posted it yesterday but I must have only previewed it.


A happy Philip
