Hi everyone,

It appreciate if someone could help me to fix the following issue.

I am using OpenFoam v-4.x of blueCFD on my Window 7. It installed well and I can run some tutorial applications. Now I want to modify myFoam code and compile it to build new solver. However, it always shows error like that:
[Make/mingw_w64GccDPInt320pt/version_of_build.o] Error 1

I am using wmake that is similar to wmake on Ubuntu

The output file does not fit a linux environment, it is Windows like (with backslashes. You have to use the equivalent path for the shell here. Easiest may be to use the point folder and move it afterward (with windows tools).

Dear Uwe Pilz

Thank you very much on your comments.
However, I do not understand your suggestions well. Could you please help me to make it more clear?

You used a path like

C:\\PROGRA~1\\BLUECF~1\\...

This is not a valid path for a linux like shell.

A path looks rather like

/home/ofuser/blueCFD/...

Dear Uwe Pilz

If possible, could you please guide me how to change the patch like that.
Do you mean I have to install blueCFD in another folder with home folder outside of C://Program//... ??

I see the line which causes the problem. But I don't have your environement here and cannot say what to change.

Your makefile contains a pointer to c:\... in an direct or indirect way (by parameter). You have to look and to understand what happens there.

I installed blueCFD directly on my PC C:\\Programs Files\\ blueCFD\\ as shown in the following link:

If possible, could you try to follows it

I use the CFD windows port form CFDSupport:

It works without any problems at different computers.

Dear Uwe Pilz

It is great to see your suggestion on using different version of OpenFoam for Windows,
I installed and run it well. However, I see some differences of source code in this version comparing with OpenFoam in blueCFD and building code get errors. Could you please help me to explain the difference between them?

There exist some OF pathways. Their software base is not identical. It is discussed for time to toime here.

At the moment, we have to live with that.

Greetings to all,

I've moved the line of discussion that ndtrong had about building the custom solver with CFDSupport's port to here: Various problems compiling interFoam with CFDSupport's v1706 port of OpenFOAM


As for the original problem with blueCFD-Core, I'm rather late now to explain this, but here goes just the same:

Instructions on how to compile custom code with it are provided here: https://github.com/blueCFD/Core/wiki...ng-custom-code

More specifically, the original problem was that there was a bug in blueCFD-Core 2016-1, which required users to set-up the work environment, as explained here: https://github.com/blueCFD/Core/wiki...rk-environment - this would create a short-cut drive letter "X:" which would act as short-cut to where blueCFD-Core was installed, so that the space in "C:\Program Files" would not give problems anymore.
This bug was fixed in blueCFD-Core 2016-2.

The second issue is that the source code changes needed to the custom source code, needed to account for some of the file name changes made in blueCFD-Core's port of OpenFOAM, which is detailed here: https://github.com/blueCFD/Core/wiki...e#introduction

Best regards,
Bruno
