Hi everybody, hope you are doing fine!

There is a library that I wanted to add to OpenFOAM called "Reaktoro". Here is a link to the source:
https://github.com/reaktoro/reaktoro

Unfortunately, I don't know much about C++ so I would be very appreciative if someone can help me with this in detail. I know it has something to do with options in the make folder but I don't know exactly how I can add this library in this case; since there are a bunch of folders in the source file.

I've read somethings about libraries in OpenFOAM but I'm a little bit confused; perhaps because I don't know the basics.

Thank you so much.

I realized all you have to do is to create a folder named lnInclude in your solver folder. Then put the whole source into this lnInclude.

Now I'm getting some errors making the solver:

I can't understand what I'm missing. I'm still wondering is there anything I should have done more? Does it have anything to do with .so files? I can't see any .so file in the source folder so that I can put them in the option under EXE_LIBS. Should I somehow create these .so files? I'm confused. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you build the Reaktoro library? Following the guide for building Reaktoro you should end up with a directory called "build" that probably contains a folder with the .so files and another one with the headers (.H files).

Once you built Reaktoro you can use it in OpenFOAM by adding to the Make/options:
- The positions of the headers in EXE_INC
- The positions of the .so files and the name of the built libraries that you are using in EXE_LIBS. For example, if you build the boost libraries you end up with a folder containing two other folders: include and lib. "include" contains the headers, while "lib" contains the compiled libraries in .so files. One of these files is libboost_system.so. To add this file to the Make/options file you should write something like:

EXE_INC = \
...
-I<path/to/include> \
...

EXE_LIBS = \
...
-L<path/to/lib> \
-lboost_system \
...

The folder lnInclude is automatically generated when you use wmake to compile, you sould not create it

Dear EdoardoCip,

Thank you so much for your answer. I build the library using miniconda with this command:
Code:
conda install reaktoro
I followed your instructions and now I am able to make the solver without any error; but now when I want to call my solver (reaktoroFOAM), it gives me this error:
Code:
reaktoroFOAM.C: error while loading shared libraries: libReaktoro.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Did I miss something?

This is the body of the solver:
Code:
#include <Reaktoro/Reaktoro.hpp>
using namespace Reaktoro;

int main()
{
    ChemicalEditor editor;
    editor.addAqueousPhaseWithElementsOf("H2O NaCl CaCO3 CO2");
    editor.addGaseousPhase("CO2(g)");
    editor.addMineralPhase("Calcite");

    ChemicalSystem system(editor);

    EquilibriumProblem problem(system);
    problem.add("H2O", 1, "kg");
    problem.add("CO2", 1, "mol");
    problem.add("NaCl", 0.7, "mol");
    problem.add("CaCO3", 1, "g");

    ChemicalState state = equilibrate(problem);

    state.output("result.txt");
}
And this is what is in the option file:
Code:
EXE_INC = \
	-I/home/mcrossover97/miniconda3/include
	
	

EXE_LIBS = \
	-L/home/mcrossover97/miniconda3/lib \
	-lReaktoro
and make file:
Code:
reaktoroFOAM.C

EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/reaktoroFOAM.C
I appreciate your help so much,
Mohammad

Hi,

You might also have to location of the folder containing libReaktoro.so to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Antimony

You can update LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the position of libReaktoro.so. with the following command:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=‘$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:<path/to/folder-with-libReaktoro.so>’

Also, you are missing return 0; at the end of the main.
int main()
{
...
state.output("result.txt");
return 0;
}

While the Make/file shuld be like this:

reaktoroFOAM.C

EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/reaktoroFOAM

Otherwise your exe would be called reaktoroFOAM.C

I tried to update LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the following command:
Code:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=‘$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:</home/mcrossover97/miniconda3/lib>’
It didn't give me any error but apparently, nothing had happened as I checked it to make sure it is updated:
Code:
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
but it wasn't.

Then I tried to update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the following command:
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/mcrossover97/miniconda3/lib
Now it works! Thank you so much for your help and time!

Hey Sorry to bother you guys again.


Now I want to do all the procedure in Ubuntu 18.04 (not WSL). I have done exactly the same things; but I cannot even make the solver, because it gives me this error:
Code:
(base) mohammad@mohammad-VirtualBox:~/OpenFOAM/mohammad-8/applications/solvers/reaktoroFoam$ wmake
g++ -std=c++11 -m64 -Dlinux64 -DWM_ARCH_OPTION=64 -DWM_DP -DWM_LABEL_SIZE=32 -Wall -Wextra -Wold-style-cast -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wno-attributes -O3  -DNoRepository -ftemplate-depth-100 -I/opt/openfoam8/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude -I/opt/openfoam8/src/meshTools/lnInclude -I/home/mohammad/miniconda3/include -IlnInclude -I. -I/opt/openfoam8/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude -I/opt/openfoam8/src/OSspecific/POSIX/lnInclude   -fPIC -fuse-ld=bfd -Xlinker --add-needed -Xlinker --no-as-needed Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/reaktoroFoam.o -L/opt/openfoam8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib \
    -L/home/mohammad/miniconda3/lib -lfiniteVolume -lmeshTools -lreaktoro -lOpenFOAM -ldl  \
     -lm -o /home/mohammad/OpenFOAM/mohammad-8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/bin/reaktoroFoam
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: cannot find -lreaktoro
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
/opt/openfoam8/wmake/makefiles/general:140: recipe for target '/home/mohammad/OpenFOAM/mohammad-8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/bin/reaktoroFoam' failed
make: *** [/home/mohammad/OpenFOAM/mohammad-8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/bin/reaktoroFoam] Error 1
The contents of the files are same as before:
Code:
EXE_INC = \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \
    -I/home/mohammad/miniconda3/include

EXE_LIBS = \
    -L/home/mohammad/miniconda3/lib \
    -lfiniteVolume \
    -lmeshTools \
    -lreaktoro
And the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is updated:
Code:
(base) mohammad@mohammad-VirtualBox:~/OpenFOAM/mohammad-8/applications/solvers/reaktoroFoam$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 ‘/opt/ThirdParty-8/platforms/linux64Gcc/gperftools-svn/lib:/opt/paraviewopenfoam56/lib:/opt/openfoam8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib/openmpi-system:/opt/ThirdParty-8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32/lib/openmpi-system:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/lib:/home/mohammad/OpenFOAM/mohammad-8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib:/opt/site/8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib:/opt/openfoam8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib:/opt/ThirdParty-8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32/lib:/opt/openfoam8/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib/dummy::/home/mohammad/miniconda3/lib
What would possibly be different between WSL and Ubuntu on VirtualBox?
Thank you so much for your help again!
Mohammad

Im very late, but maybe it is because you seem to have double : before path to reaktoro library in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH

hi try changing your options as shown below

Quote:
EXE_INC = \
-I/home/mcrossover97/miniconda3/include



EXE_LIBS = \
-Wl,-rpath=/home/mcrossover97/miniconda3/lib \
-L/home/mcrossover97/miniconda3/lib \
-lReaktoro
it should work i think after this change
libReaktoro.so is a dynamically link so OS need to know its location at runtime an this can be done using -Wl,-rpath=<location of your library>
