Hi everyone,

I am completely new to OpenFOAM and need to implement a custom boundary condition for my work. For this I have followed the instructions of someone else and did the following:

1. I copied the original BC into $(WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR) and renamed all file names and names inside the source code.

2. I created the Make/files and options files, they look as follows

Make/files

swirlNumRankineFlowRateInletVelocity/swirlNumRankineFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField.C
LIB = $(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libmyBCs

Make/options

EXE_INC = \\
   -I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \\
   -I$(LIB_SRC)/triSurface/lnInclude \\
   -I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude
EXE_LIBS = \\
   -lfiniteVolume \\
   -ltriSurface \\
   -lmeshTools

3. Then I changed the code to make it do what I need for the BC
4. I tried compiling it using wmake, but am getting the following error message:


wmakeLnInclude: linkung include files to ./lnInclude
make: ***Keine Regel vorhanden, um das Ziel "Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/swirlNumRankineFlowRateInletVelocity/swirlNumFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField.C. dep",
benötigt von "Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/swirlsNumRankineFlowRateInletVelocity/swirlNumRankineFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorF ield.o", zu erstellen. Schluss.


It basically says, that it is lacking a rule to create Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/…
I have double checked the spelling in my Make/files and Options, but couldn´t figure out, what that actually means. I would be very glad, if someone here could help me figure it out. And please forgive me, if I forgot to mention anything important. Just let me know and I will try to give any information necesssary.

Thank you!

Hi Swirl,

It seems that the compiler cannot find the file referenced by the path "swirlNumRankineFlowRateInletVelocity/swirlNumRankineFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorF ield.C", are you sure that the path to this file is correct? Try positioning yourself wherever the "Make" folder exists and access the .C file with the relative path mentioned. The wmake command must be executed in this specific folder to work, and the relative paths must be exact.


I hope that solves the problem.

Thanks for your reply! The Make Folder, .C and .H file are located in a Folder called "swirlNumRankineFlowrateInletVelocity". Compiling it without the Folder Name in the path like

swirlNumRankineFlowRateInletVelocityFvPtachVectorField.C
LIB = $(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libmyBCs

made no difference.

I also looked into the wmake/rules Folder, and could not find a document with the Name "linux64GccDPInt32Opt". Don´t know, maybe that has something to do with it.

It was probably the most stupid mistake ever. I had a spelling mistake in the file name. now it compiles. Thank you so much! I literally spent the entire day searching for the error.

Is the bold part a typo? Maybe it is Patch instead of Ptach?

The folder linux64GccDPInt32Opt will be created by wmake along the compiling process, I don't think it is related to your problem.

If you still having problems you can pack the files and send them to me for having a further look.

Wops! You figured it out while I was writing to you. Don't worry this type of silly mistakes happens all the times! Glad I could help you detecting the typo!


Good luck!
