wmake error: command not found
 

Hi

I am trying to make a new solver and followed the steps mentioned here: https://www.cfdsupport.com/OpenFOAM-...t/node187.html

The folder mentioned in the $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR was not present initially, so i made the folder.

I have attached the sequence of commands i used.

I am getting the error for wmake command. I have tried to compile on OpenFOAM-v1706, OpenFOAM-v1712 and OpenFOAM-1806

Please help me solve this error. If i am doing something wrong, please guide me on how to correct it.

Thank you.

/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/wmake/wmake: line 409: make: command not found
/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/wmake/wmake: line 412: make: command not found

Under the hood, wmake call make to do stuffs.
GNU make :https://www.gnu.org/software/make/

I think the answer is simple: Install make

to do it on ubuntu:
1. sudo apt-get install make
if 1 does not work:
2. sudo apt-get install build-essential
if 1 and 2 does not work:
3. sudo apt-get install --reinstall make


Tell me if it does not solve your problem.

Hi Chen,
Thanks for replying. The option 1 did work. But when i try to compile a solver, i got the following error:

I am not sure what is happening. Thanks in advance for helping

Since you installed make, then the wmake is actually trying to compile the source code.
It terminated because it cannot fine a header file called "features.h".
On my laptop, features.h is located at usr/include/ .
However, your compiler seems cannot find it in the default search path. It may suggest a incomplete build of the compiler. That means installing a compiler alone is not sufficient, you need headers and libraries too.

Then I think you have tried the command "sudo apt-get install build-essential". which will fix the incomplete build of g++.

So I think it should be OK now and means the wmake is working properly. And I think a executable file is generated as /home/ianjikar/OpenFOAM/ianjikar-v1806/platforms/linux64Gcc63DPInt32Opt/bin/icoTempFoam which overwrites the original one.

So when you copy the solver folder, there is a folder in it called Make. In the Make/, there is a file called "files".
you also need to modify the line EXE=................ in the Make/files

in mine, it says:

icoFoam.C

EXE = /home/chen/OpenFOAM/chen-6/run/icoFoam/icoFoam


which means, wmake need a file called icoFoam.C and the output is /home/chen/OpenFOAM/chen-6/run/icoFoam/icoFoam.

In your case, you can try to modify it as :
EXE =~/Desktop/icoTempFoam
and run wmake again. If you can find icoTempFoam in the Desktop, that means you have built it successfully.

Tell me if it does not solve your problem.

Chen

Make/files was updated as follows:

icoTempFoam.C

EXE = /home/ianjikar/OpenFOAM/ianjikar-v1806/applications/solvers/icoTempFoam

Then i ran the wmake command and got the following error:

I have attached a photo of the directory path for help

Hi,


You need to add the name of the executable, which seems to be the same as your directory. The Make/files becomes:


icoTempFoam.C

EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/icoTempFoam

Cheers,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,

Initially the EXE was as you mentioned, but when i called the $FOAM_USER_APPBIN variable, the path was:
/home/ianjikar/OpenFOAM/ianjikar-v1806/platforms/linux64Gcc63DPInt32Opt/bin/


So i changed the path to where icoTempFoam.C is present and tried compiling if thats the problem

Thanks for looking into it

Regards
Ishan

The EXE directory is the directory where the final binary is compiled, but it is not related to the directory where the sources are.

In your case, the source (icoTempFoam.C) must be in the directory where there is the Make directory.
And so you just have to type "wmake" in this source directory in order to compile and place the binary at the EXE location. :)

Thanks for the explaination. I thought the location of sourcefile should be present in EXE. The compiler is working now.

Dear people,


I have the same error about features.h: No such file or directory. I have tried the 3 procedures and I always have the same error about features.h: No such file or directory:

1. sudo apt-get install make
if 1 does not work:
2. sudo apt-get install build-essential
if 1 and 2 does not work:
3. sudo apt-get install --reinstall make

My make/files is:

solvername.C
EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/solvername


I have OpenFOAM 1812 installed on Windows 10.

Dear everybody,


Finally I found the solution in this forum:


https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/op...oam-1712-a.htm

I executed the following commands and then my solver compiled:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential flex bison

internal compiler error: Illegal instruction constexpr floatScalar floatScalarGREAT
 

Hello everybody!


I am trying to compile my own solver called vsFoam. That solver is based on simpleFoam solver. The openFoam version is 1906. I am compiling it on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS application of Windows 10.


I have made following commands



sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential flex bison
sudo apt-get install make


However, wmake still returns error. Plese see bellow. Can anybody help me so solve that issue?

have you installed OF? have you verified the installation?

Yes, I have installed openFoam version 1906. I am alreday doing simulation with simpleFoam solver, so it works. I would like to, however, modify simpleFoam solver for my purpose and I have problems to compile it. I have done it on Ubuntu Linux with OF 2.2.1 few years ago. Now, I am doing it on Ubuntu Linux application on Windows 10 with latest OF version. Maybe there is the problem.

Could you go to the forum topic:
[OpenFOAM.com] v1712 GCC 6.3.0 - internal compiler error: Illegal instruction

where Bruno Santos gave insights.

(Sorry, I couldnt manage to share the link directly by using my phone.)

As Bruno Santos advices I have checked if there is a hardware problem. I have done it with command

stressapptest -W --cc_test -M 4000
The test gave me PASS status, hardware is OK.



I guess the issue has something common with GCC 6.3.0. In the thread 1712 GCC 6.3.0 - internal compiler error: Illegal instruction there is no soulution available, so I wonder if someone solved it yet.

Can you use another compiler? e.g. Clang?

It is good idea. Do you think if it is OK to have gcc and Clang installed beside eachother? Or gcc is reccomended to be uninstalled before Clang installation.
What is reccommended compiler for openFoam v1906 from your point of view.
