CFD Online Discussion Forums - Compiling a new solver: what's this error?

Greetings Samuele,

The first error is essentially this one:

Code:

createFields.H:13:5:   required from here

/home/szampini/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/GeometricBoundaryField.C:173:45: error: ‘set’ was not declared in this scope, and no declarations were found by argument-dependent lookup at the point of instantiation [-fpermissive]

         set(patchi, btf[patchi].clone(field));

After looking at the remaining error messages, I've got a feeling that the problem is due to an incorrect file name that was included somewhere in your application. Something as simple as using this:

Code:

#include "char.h"

instead of this:

Code:

#include "Char.H"

is enough to break the compilation process.

Without access to the source code, it's too hard to help you diagnose the problem.
I suggest that you take a look at the solvers in which your current solver was based on and compare each file, to see what was modified and what might be wrong.

Best regards,
Bruno
