Compiling an application with OpenFOAM-1.6-ext ubuntu binaries

I use openFoam-1.6-ext on ubuntu. I installed it using binaries and development packages from the repository. I am trying to compile a new application and I get this error:

Code:

/usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/label.H:39:19: error: climits: No such file or directory

/usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/label.H:40:19: error: cstdlib: No such file or directory

In file included from /usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/label.H:130,

                 from /usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude/fvCFD.H:4,

I think I have all required packages installed and my /usr/include/c++/4.4 contains both climits and cstdlib. What is missing here?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

OK. I solved this problem by explicitly pointing gcc to /usr/include/c++/4.4 using -I. It seems that my system cannot locate this default path.

Now I receive this error:

Code:

cc1: error: unrecognised debug output level "nu"

make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/xFoam.o] Error 1

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

cc1plus: error: unrecognised debug output level "nu"

make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/tractionDisplacementFvPatchVectorField.o] Error 1

Any Ideas?

The error is solved by a soft link trick to the required include. Now I pass that part but I get this typical error:

Code:

/usr/include/c++/4.4/cstddef:51: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘:’ token

/usr/include/c++/4.4/cstddef:52: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘:’ token

.

/usr/include/c++/4.4/cstdlib:108: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘:’ token

...

Thoughts?

Caused by a stupid mistake. I used .c instead of .C as the extension of my main file.
I leave this note here for future reference of others and myself :)

Good luck

Hi ZKM,

Sorry, you posted this already some years ago, but what did you mean by "a soft link trick to the required include"?
I have a similar problem when trying to compile an application with wmake: gcc can't find stuff, because for some reason, on my system it's not located in the default search path. I tried to point gcc to the correct path by adding "-I <correct-path>" to Make/options. This seems to work, but it gives me (nearly) exactly the same error you got:

cc1plus: error: unrecognised debug output level "nu"

So I'm really curious to know how you solved this, can you explain?

Thanks in advance,
Sita
