Compilation modified Sutherland Model

Cmole · January 21, 2021, 12:56

Dear all,

I am new to openFoam and am trying to modify the existing Sutherland model.
The problem is, I can not manage to compile the new model. The error is "make: *** No rule to make target" and from what I read it is because the directory "Make" including "files" and "options" does not exist. I have tried to create these files, but I absolutely do not know how to do that and what they should include. Could you help me ?

Thank you in advance for your help!
Clément

use wmake instead.

Actually, "wmake" is already what I use.
After modifying the Sutherland model I used "wmake" and the error "make: *** No rule to make target" appeared.

Make sure to have a Make directory with the files called files and options inside.

I think this is the problem. I do not know what to include in these files because it is the first time I try to compile a new model. I searched on the internet but I did not find anything that could help me. Do you have a model of these files that could work for me ?

Thank you for your help !

wmake is a bash shell command that in turn calls "make" with options specifically for OpenFoam.

Information on "make": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makefile

Thank you for the information.

I tried something, that still does not work.

In Make/files:

sutherland.C
LIB = $(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/sutherland

In Make/options:

EXE_INC = \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/thermophysicalModels/specie/transport/sutherland

But I still have the error "make: *** No rule to make target"

I managed to solve this error, I changed the make/files to

sutherlandTransport.C
EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/sutherlandTransport

(I changed sutherland to sutherlandTransport)

I also changed the Make/options to

EXE_INC = \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/thermophysicalModels/specie/specie/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/thermophysicalModels/specie/transport/lnInclude/sutherland/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/OpenFOAM/db/IOstreams/lnInclude \

Unfortunately, I have an error: "fatal error: specie.H: No such file or directory"

Thanks to whoever who can help me.
