Ubuntu for W10: How to scroll up to see compile errors?

msaravia · August 8, 2018, 17:24

Hi, I am compiling an OF solver using wmake in bash for Windows. The output in the compile process is larger than the limit of lines of the bash windows. I have tried to change the properties of the bash window and set the height of the screen buffer size (layout tab) to 9999 lines, which is the maximum allowd; however, this is not enough to see the first compiling error.

Can anyone help me with this?

Hi,

is this really a OpenFOAM(R) related topic? I guess not, right. Based on the fa ct that I do not use Windows, I suggest you to pipe your output into a file. Thus, you can open the file and read the error messages. How to pipe is a linux related topic - not FOAM:

Code:


./myProgram > log  2>&1

I guess this was one of Bruno's most written commands (redirection to a file).

Thanks Tobi!. You are right, the question is out of topic. I'll delete it.
