Hello,

I am new to use OpenFOAM and I have some problems to compile it.

Description:
I downloaded all the packages from the web site (General source, gcc, paraview, double and simple precision, java)
I followed all the instruction in the README file (modifications of the bashrc)
And when I try to compile the code, all seems to work until I obtain this error message:

`/home/linux2/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4/lib/linuxGcc4DPOpt/libfoamUtil.so' is up to date.

Platform:
I am working with a RedHat 9 Enterprise and my OS is CentOs 4


Version:
I downloaded the OpenFOAM v 1.4 for Linux 32 bits.


Notes:
I tried several times to compile the code with different protocol and I have still the same problem. It seems that an wmake is lacking inside the compressible folder... To unpack the source code I used tar -xzf <name_file> and do it inside $HOME/OpenFOAM.
I created $HOME/OpenFOAM/Linux to put all the binary files.

So, if you have any ideas to solve my problem I will be very grateful. (I am very new to use Linux and may be I do something wrong to compile it.)

Thanks.

Erik.

On line 162 of file /home/linux2/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4/wmake/wmake change Allwmake to ./Allwmake

Thanks for your help. But I still have a problem:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenFOAM
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [/home/linux2/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4/applications/bin/linuxGcc4DPOpt/rhopSonicFoa m] Error 1


Do I have to change something during the configuration? Because it seems strange for me that he need to go in /usr/bin/ld to find a file of OpenFOAM which is unpack in /home/linux2/OpenFOAM.

Another Allwmake 'bug' in OF-1.4:

OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4/applications/utilities/parallelProcessing/Allwmake:

Line 4, change to:
(cd decompositionMethods; ./Allwmake)

In the bug section I posted a "cumulative" patch. It will fix that issue too.

Hi, I am trying to compile OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev, but I have the same problem, even more.

After ./Allwmake:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenFOAM
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [/home/reza/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev/applications/bin/linuxGccSPDebug/wallHea tFlux] Error 1

make: *** [postProcessing] Error 2

After typing wmake libso OpenFOAM:

reza@reza-laptop:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev/src$ wmake libso OpenFOAM
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfoamUser
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/home/reza/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev/lib/linuxGccSPDebug/libOpenFOAM.so] Error 1

Showing that the library is not there!!!
This is the page I follow
http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:K9Hgdkq7GbYJ:openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Howt o_compile_OpenFOAM+http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho..._OpenFOAM&hl=e n&gl=us&strip=1

, but when I track the procedure and messages I cannot see any warning or error up to ./Allwmake. I am using ubuntu8.04, 32 bit. I have also installed every thing I saw in the forum:
build-essential package, flex++, tcl, tk, xorg.

Any idea about what I have to do is appreciated.

[reza]

I have to be more specific, I really do not have lopeanfoam library in reza@reza-laptop:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev/lib/linuxGccSPDebug$.
I am really interested in knwoing what mistake I have made

>Any idea about what I have to do is appreciated.

You have to attach the full output from your compilation attempts.

>I am really interested in knwoing what mistake I have made

Your mistake is to assume that we have either access to your history and log files or that each of us has a crystal ball on their desks to read all the information that you didn't provide.

[reza]

Nadine,

I am not saying that you can read my palm by my post, however your are so right. I just thought that maybe somebody has gone through the HowToCompile wiki and obtained the same result. I am compiling every thing from the very beginning steps and will post all the output, so big, of every step of the compilation.

[reza]

Nadine,
Do I have to list the compilation of all the steps, binutils, cmake, ..., or the compilation of OpenFOAM, result of ./Allwmake, is enough.

[reza]

Here is my very very basic question:
What is the file containing errors, although seems stupid:
where is the place I can find the full output, errors, I get during Allwmake, in the log file there is no error reported.
P. S. I first saw beautiful linux Ubuntu 8.04 when trying to learn OpenFOAM first
P. S. I thought it is the log file containing the full information.

Which log file do you refer to?

Assuming your shell is set to bash (check with 'echo $SHELL'), the command

./Allwmake > logfile

only logs stdout, no error messages.
You can do

./Allwmake 1> logfile 2>errfile #or
./Allwmake &> logerrfile

to write the error messages into a different or into the same file, respectively.

If your shell is some sort of csh, the commands are different.

Hi all,
I am running OpenSuse 11. I need to get OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev and I follow HowTOCompile wiki. However in step 10, compiling openfoam, After ./Allwmake I get:

I am new to linux and OpenFOAM. Any idea is appreciated.
P. S. I tried to install every missing feature in Suse by DVD becuase a lot of them were missing.

Hi Daniel,

Not sure if this was resolved for you, as you posted it quite a while ago.

This error occured for me when I had an incorrect entry for WM_COMPILER_BIN in the settings.sh file.

make sure that it references:
WM_COMPILER_BIN=$WM_COMPILER_DIR/bin

Hope this helps.
