CFD Online Discussion Forums - Compiling a porousZone-like library

Dear Foamers,

I have developed a soilZone class modified from the porousZone class. I used to compile it directly with the solver (which works OK). Nevertheless, I, now, need to compile it separately as a library. I tried it but failed. I, then, copied the porousZones folder and renamed it and it compiled OK as a libporousZoneTry.so

I used the following "files" file

Code:

./soilZone.C \

./soilZones.C 



LIB = $(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libsoilZones

and the "options" file

Code:

EXE_INC = \

    -I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \

    -I$(LIB_SRC)/triSurface/lnInclude \

    -I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude



LIB_LIBS = \

    -lOpenFOAM \

    -ltriSurface \

    -lmeshTools

The error I keep getting (only for the soilZones lib) is:

Code:

hisham@numubuntu-System-Product-Name:~/OpenFOAM/numubuntu-2.0.0/soilZones$ wclean

hisham@numubuntu-System-Product-Name:~/OpenFOAM/numubuntu-2.0.0/soilZones$ wmake libso

wmakeLnInclude: linking include files to ./lnInclude

Making dependency list for source file soilZones.C

soilZone.C:4: *** missing separator.  Stop.

hisham@numubuntu-System-Product-Name:~/OpenFOAM/numubuntu-2.0.0/soilZones$

Using Google this error seems to be related to "Make". Also, soilZone.C:4 is a comment line.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
