Thank you, Bruno! It worked finally!
Now I just have to understand well how to manage the debugging in a proper way...but, anyway, the most difficult part hope to have left behind.

Bye for now!

Bruno you may know the answer to my problem:

I have OF-1.6-ext in my system after installing it using the Synaptic manager so I guess this is a precompiled version. Now, I need to use Eclipse for debugging of some of my applications and for that reason I need to have OF-1.6-ext in debug mode. At least that is what I understood from the tutorial. So it seems to me that I need to recompile OF-1.6-ext. Is it possible to do this using the installed version that I mentioned before??

When I run my case form eclipse I see the progress of the simulation but I cannot see any of the variable or insert any breakpoints and for what I understand that is due to the fact that my version of OF is not compiled in debug mode...


Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Santiago,

Whether you like it or not, you better install 1.6-ext from source and then switch to debug mode.
I'm advising you this because I suspect that the packages supplied in deb format don't fully provide everything necessary for building it in debug mode

Good luck!
Bruno

Thanks Bruno. I will try that. Where can I download the sources to build 1.6-ext.? I just want to make sure that I have the correct source files before I try to build this. Thanks

Hi Santiago,

I wish you very good luck... the instructions I know of, but never have used myself, are these: http://www.extend-project.de/user-fo...n-openfoam#276

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi, I just got Eclipse mostly working on my mac and I think it is very helpful.

There were a couple of things that I had to do to get it working on my macbook though because eclipse was having problems finding wclean/wmake. Instructions to fix it can be found here, but basically what you have to do is:

1. (Note: I'm using the binary version of OpenFOAM 1.6-ext on my mac) Make a shell script called eclipse.sh that sources the bashrc script and then starts eclipse. Something like this (the locations of the .dmg file and bashrc are specific to my system):
Code:
#!/bin/sh

hdiutil mount ~/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext-swak-Feb4.dmg
source ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc

logger "`dirname \"$0\"`/eclipse"

exec "`dirname \"$0\"`/eclipse" $@
2. Move this script to: /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/
3. Edit the file /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist and underneath "CFBundleExecutable" replace "eclipse" with "eclipse.sh"
4. Now you can just launch eclipse from the Finder the normal way.


So, now on to my problem :

My solvers compile without any problem and eclipse can find all of the included files, but I'm getting a lot of flags warning of problems like "Type 'scalar' could not be resolved" and "Symbol 'runTime' could not be resolved". An example of what I mean is in the screen shot that I attached.

This is more of an annoyance since the compile still works but is there a way to fix these things?

hi all,

i set up my eclipse for development.
I did everything mentioned in the wiki but there is still one problem:

If I have a library and added a header-file of an other library there is the message
Code:
unresolved inclusion
well I added the lnInclude directory to the symbols and links in the project.
I can compile the library without a error and everything works very fine but at least I wanna have a code without a underlined line

Hope that you understand my question.

Well,

I looked into the project folders in eclipse. There is the folder called lnInclude with all included links. I saw that my include file was not correct written and one of the c++ project I renamed from "common" to "libCommon". So the path was wrong to. After delete it and recreate the link everything works fine.

hi,

well i have a question to you!
I imported icoFoam but eclipse do not know what the functions are!

Included /src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude and /src/finiteVolume/lnInclude

What do i wrong?

Do I use OF in Debugversion? for that

Hi Tobi,

By what I can read from the error message on the picture you attached, you forgot to configure the project to use wmake instead of make.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi, not really that 's couse I am to fast with my fingers and always clicking on "RUN" instead on the wmake.

The only thing is the underlinded funktions like .time() or so on. Eclipse don't know those functions so i thought there is a lnInclude folder missing?

Hi Tobi

Did you succeed with this annoying include problem? With Ubuntu 10.04 everything was fine. Now I switched to Ununtu 12.04 and Eclipse Indigo and I face the same problem you did before. With a clean install of Eclipse and OF-2.1.x all symbols in header files cannot be resolved. However, compilation works fluently. Any solution?

Thanks and best wishes

Fabian

Does anybody use GDB-7.x ?
Or GBD-6.8 is the right version only?

I've had the problem with Eclipse giving errors on 'runtime.run' or 'mesh', and many other parts of the code. It is caused by the way the '#includes' of .H files is used in OF, many being parts of code rather than actual header files; if you copy the contents of, for instance, createTime.H (just 2 lines) to the location where #include createTime.H is (and comment out the #include line), the 'runtime.run' does not give an error anymore. The same goes for createMesh.H and so on... Apparently, Eclipse does not index these code snippets in editor mode. For the same reason, editing these non-header .H files does not give you the benefits of an IDE such as code completion or even highlighting. I'm not really comfortable with replacing in all these parts of the code, since it may need much maintenance in the future...

Something I noticed to be missing on the OpenFOAM-Eclipse-wiki is that you should also include any lnInclude directories in the Make/options file (just to make sure that each _real_ header file is actually found, not just those in src/finiteVolume/lnInclude and src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude. For instance, if you're using interFoam, you want to include
OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/src/transportModels/incompressible/lnInclude
OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/src/transportModels/interfaceProperties/lnInclude
OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/src/turbulenceModels/incompressible/turbulenceModel
(perhaps obvious, I'm mentioning it anyway )

Now I have another problem; I followed the OF-into-Eclipse wiki but it doesn't compile my interFoam-like solver in Eclipse Juno (latest version as of now). Instead, it gives me some error messages about 'Invoking autoreconf in build directory' and so on, but I couldn't figure out how to disable autoreconf - it seems to be an integral part of the IDE. Apparently, it stops when it encounters the autoconf errors and doesn't even start with invoking wmake.
apple-tree and DheepanPillai like this.

Hi all,

I did include the other lninclude directories as in the Make/options of the solver (e.g. simpleFoam) in Path and Symbols but I still get underlined functions and "Symbol ... could not be resolved" when I hover mouse on a function like runtime.
I can compile and build the project with no problem though.

Hi all,
I am trying to manage openFoam source code with eclipse. Following the guide provided on this web site and this tread finally I got it work for the run configuration.
It worked also for the debug mode, but I was able just to stop in the main function without getting any information on the variables. Moreover I was not able to go foreword.
Then reading this tread again I understood that there is a bug in gdb 7x with eclipse, so I downgraded it to the version 6.8.
Now I've actually got some information on the variables, but I've soon got the following error:
Code:

Updating...
I tried to debug a simple Hello world program with gdb 6.8 and I've got the same error, then I switched back to gdb 7.x and the Hello world program worked very well!
Thus I believe that it is not an issue of gdb, but may be an issue related with how wmake build openFoam. Indeed I built the Hello world program using the default builder of Eclipse.
I guess that gdb miss some files due to the fact that wmake place them in some unrecognised folder.

Anyone can give me a feedback about this?
