no rules for target *Foam.dep which needed...
 

when i compiled a new slover which was just copied by an existed solver and only modified about the equation,it came an error that was "make error ,no rules to target *Foam.dep which is needed by ..."

but when i wclean an existed slover and wmake again ,it is OK.

i used OpenFoam in redhat 5.:(

Did you change both the C file and the names in Make/files to the same names? So, to change icoFoam to somethingElseFoam, change icoFoam.C to somethingElseFoam.C and change Make/files from
to
and do wclean and wmake.

Dear Gijs!
Thank you very much for you reply!
I just have done it with your notes.The problem i hvae is that i forgot to wclean the existed slover before i copied the existed slover.when i do wclean first,it works very well.
