hello everyone
I have installed OpenFOAM-1.6.ext and OpenFOAM2.0.0 on my computer.when i copy the solver icoFoam to my desktop ,then run:

startOF160ext
cd icoFoam/
wmake

the result is:

Making dependency list for source file icoFoam.C

what is the problem?

Thank you very much!

It seems you don't have write permission in the folder you try to write the solver.

Try changing FOAM_APPBIN into FOAM_USER_APPBIN in the Make/files file.

Thank you for your help. I try again with your advice on another computer which installed openFOAM1.6-ext only.but this time the result is:

Making dependency list for source file icoFoam.C
SOURCE=icoFoam.C ; g++ -m32 -Dlinux -DWM_DP -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wold-style-cast -O3 -DNoRepository -ftemplate-depth-40 -I/usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude -IlnInclude -I. -I/usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude -I/usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/OSspecific/POSIX/lnInclude -fPIC -c $SOURCE -o Make/linuxGccDPOpt/icoFoam.o
/bin/sh: g++: not found
make: *** [Make/linuxGccDPOpt/icoFoam.o] Error 127

i am new to linux, i don't know what should i do.

best regards

Looks like it cannot find your compiler on this machine. (g++ not found)

I created a folder in my home/user section named as "mySolversOpenFoam"
I am using the OpenFoam210 you need to change this to your OpenFoam version.

cd /opt/openfoam210/
cp -r --parents applications/solvers/incompressible/icoFoam ~/mySolversOpenFOAM/
cd ~/mySolversOpenFOAM/applications/solvers/incompressible
mv icoFoam myNewSolverName
cd myNewSolverName
wclean
mv icoFoam.C myNewSolverName.C


Modify "Make/files" to like something this:
"
myNewSolverName.C

EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/myNewSolverName

"

take a look to this web site too (http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...lenceModel.pdf)

Now if you Open your folder ~/OpenFOAM/UserName/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/
you will find there your new solvers.
Hope it works for you
Best reagards,
Wagner

Hi everyone,
I passed through the compilation process, I have in bin folder the file, but I don't know how to change it in fully running case it means how to tanslate it to "0" "System" and "Constant' folders.

First thanks for help as it solves my issue. Can you please go through the error, how do you find out that the problem comes from Make/files.
Thanks again
