I'm a newcomer, Intel GmbH Germany, wanting to use OpenFOAM as Cluster benchmark

Using the install "Allwmake", always runs into
template definition problems (g++ or Intel icpc)

Using g++

Which version of g++ are you using?

[hplum]

g++ 3.4.4.

In the end, I'm after using icpc (Intel's C++);
here I'm using V 9.1 and also getting template
definition problems, see message above.

[gschaider]

I don't have experience with current OpenFOAM-versions and 3.x-series of the GNU compilers (I'm using 4.0.1 on my Mac and the distributed version (==4.1) on Linux). From what I've heard your lucky if OF compiles with a 3.x-compiler.

About Intel 9.1: see the release-notes for OpenFOAM 1.4 (that's all the information I have about that)

[henry]

We haven't compiled OpenFOAM with gcc-3.4.? for sometime so there may be minor problems. We release gcc-4.2.? with OpenFOAM and promote the use of this compiler development.

I have just compiled our OpenFOAM-1.4.2 development version with icpc-10.0 and there were minor problems with compiling a few source files which may also be a problem with OpenFOAM-1.4.1, I will post the fixes shortly.

[mattijs]

You'll need >4 for gcc version. Intel compiler version 10 has been reported to work ok.

[henry]

There is some unnecessary templating in pointPatchFieldFunctions.H which appears to be confusing the Intel C++ compiler, here is a fixed version pointPatchFieldFunctions.H to replace OpenFOAM-1.4.1/src/OpenFOAM/fields/pointPatchFields/pointPatchField/pointPatchFieldFunctions.H which I have tested with icpc-10.0 and now I get a complete clean build with that compiler.

Henry,

thanks, I'll immediately give it a try
