Hi,

I've changed the file MRFZone.C and I would like to compile the edited file.
~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/src/finiteVolume/cfdTools/general/MRF

The make files and options are located several directories up:
~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/src/finiteVolume

So I compile in this directory in this way:
wmake all

It compiles all dependent file in the finiteVolume, but my question is: Is it some easier way?(only compile the MRFZone.C)

Thanks.

You should write your own code in libraries/applications that are separate from the main code tree.

The usual way to do this is as follows:

Copy the .C and .H file into your own directory.
Rename the files : myMRFzone.C, myMRFzone.C (think of better names )
Rename the classes: use an editor with automatic name change executed on mutliple files
Create a Make/{files, options} in this directory (you can see how this looks like for libfiniteVolume.so, you need to only copy the lines from Make/files that pertain to myMRFzone, change the LIB to your name, and the options stay the same).

At the end, you have your own library compiled and ready to use. To use it, go into system/controlDict of a case you are running and put:

libs ("libMyNewLibrary.so");

at the top of the file.

No prob, just ask if you run into trouble, if I catch some time, I'll help you compile it...
