Dear foamers,

I am currently trying my home made solvers and utilities in foam-extend-3.0, and I encountered the following problem.

While compiling with foam-extend-3.0 a utility that compiles without problems with OF-2.2, I get the following error :

/usr/bin/ld: can't find -lgenericPatchFields
collect2: error: ld has returned 1 execution state code
make: *** [/homel/lorgo/foam/lorgo-3.0/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/spatialMeanValue] Error 1

(a bit translate from the original french error message)

Does someone know a way to overcome this problem ?

Best regards,

Laurent

Try using the locate command:

locate libgenericPatchFields
/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64Gcc++0xDPCustomProf/lib/libgenericPatchFields.so
/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64Gcc++0xDPDebug/lib/libgenericPatchFields.so
/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64Gcc++0xDPOpt/lib/libgenericPatchFields.so
/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64GccDPDebug/lib/libgenericPatchFields.so
/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libgenericPatchFields.so
/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.x/platforms/linux64Gcc++0xDPOpt/lib/libgenericPatchFields.so

I've stripped the home folder parts, but there seems to be no such library in foam-extend-3.0. It might have a different name.

Dear Tomislav, dear foamers,

I tried to locate the libgenericPatchFields file in foam-extend-3.0 and I get the same result than you Tomislav: this file is present only in OpenFOAM, not in foam-extend. Then I got stuck, because I can't identify another lib with Patch in its name in the libraries of the /foam/foam-extend-3.0/lib/linux64GccDPOpt directory.

I attached the utility that I tried to compile with foam-extend-3.0 (by the way it is designed to spatially average a volScalarField at each time of writing of data -as a postprocessing- and return the results as two columns : time, average). If someone manage to compile it, please let me know !

Best regards,

Laurent
