Typically you find some kind of error message(s) before this line.
In my case, it gave an error on missing files uLabelSpecific.H and also staticAssert.H in file Make/linux64GccDPOpt/../filesThatAreOnlyInSomeDistributions/OutputFilerDropin/outputFilterOutputControl.C.dep. I simply removed references to those files and the compilation was ok.
There might be other methods and I'm not at all sure you should do it like I did...

Even for me, I needed to remove uLabelSpecific entry from filesThatAreOnlyInSomeDistributions/OutputFileDropin/outputFilterOutputControl.C.dep


Tested with 4.x version, last commit: c590630ab07

Editing .dep-files does not help as these are computer-generated. Did you start from a clean source tree or at least try ./Allwclean before compiling (that removes all .dep-files among other things)

I did a wlclean all and a ./Allwclean but the dep file was not cleared (or it was generated in the same "wrong" way).

Did not try from the clean source tree though. Swak4Foam is btw working as expected with my case.

I successfully compiled swak4foam for OF 4.x on a Fedora FC13 machine. I'm now trying to compile 4.x + swak on the cluster that is a CentOS 5 machine.

I re-downloaded OF 4.x from the github sources so it can be on a different commit. When I start the swak4foam ./Allwmake script what I get is:

In file included from ../filesThatAreOnlyInSomeDistributions/OutputFilerDropin/outputFilterOutputControl.C:26:0:
lnInclude/swak.H:52:2: error: #error "This swak4Foam-version is only used for the 2.x-versions of OpenFOAM. For lower versions there is a special branch"
 #error "This swak4Foam-version is only used for the 2.x-versions of OpenFOAM. For lower versions there is a special branch"

Where the version of OF is checked?

A script generates a file Libraries/swak4FoamParser/foamVersion4swak.H. In the case of the aobve error message it checks for FOAM_VERSION4SWAK_MAJOR.

Could you check which content was written to that file?

Well that header file is empty

[EDIT] Workin on it.

The problem is that on the cluster Python 2.4.3 is installed and the for Python script makeFoamVersionHeader.py has not format method for strings (line 146).

[EDIT 2]
The solution was to load the module with a more modern Python version

module load python/2.7.5

I would perhaps suggest to use the "old" version to fill strings with variables that should compatible with both old and new Pythons. I'm Working on a possible patch.

I'm not sure whether it is possible to support Python 3 and Python 2.4 in the same file (I just remember that I had to drop 2.4 in PyFoam because the syntax of the exceptions was completely incompatible).

Out of curiosity: is your cluster based on RHEL 4 or 5 (can't think of any other Linux distros that still use Python 2.4. 2.4.3 was released 10 years ago)

The patch attached should work with at least for Python 2.4, 2.7 and 3.5 that are the ones I tested for.

OK. That is technically a RHEL 5. I got rid of my last Centos 5 machine a couple of years ago. You'll probably have your reason to still run that version. Have you considered getting the python26-package from EPEL and make it the default for your user (not the system of course)?

Thanks for your effort on the patch, but: swak4foam already has a lot of uglieness (#ifdefs, Python-compatibility layers) in it because I try to accomodate several distributions of Foam on reasonably old Linux Distros. Don't want to increase that by adding support to a 10 year old OS that will phase out on most machines next year (RH will end the support for the upstream OS next March). Especially if there are reasonable workarounds (and using EPEL is in my opinion reasonable). Also: you only need to bump up the Python version for the compilation

Dear Bernard,

I have installed openFoam 4.1 and tried to install swak4foam according to the instruction described in this thread. But when it comes to compile it, I constantly receive an error as attached. I would be so thankful if you can help me to solve the problem. Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards

From what you post it seems it cannot find the 'make' command.

In which distribution you are? Did you install the dev tools?

Dear Ruben,

Thank you for your response. Actually, I am using a virtual machine on which Ubuntu 16.0.4 is installed. No, I have not installed dev tool. Do you think the problem is because I have not dev tool installed? I am new in Linux, I would be so thankful if you let me know how to install that.

Best Regards

Many thanks for your prompt reply. It worked and swak4Foam has been successfully installed on my workstation. Again thank you for your help.

If I interpret your error message correctly the "wmake"-utility did not find the "make" utility. Which is strange because make is installed almost automatically when you install development utilities.

BTW: PLEASE don't post error messages as screenshots. Copy/paste them from your command line into a Code-environemt (that's the one you get with thr #-icon above)
The way you do it makes the error message unsearchable. So if somebody is looking for a solution to the same error message he won't find the answer because the error message is "hidden" in a bitmap

Dear Bernard,
Thank you for your response. The problem was something in development utilities which is now solved and I could successfully install swak4Foam and use it.
Thank you for your suggestion about not using screenshot, however, I tried to copy and paste the error lines from the terminal to the Code-environment, however as I am using a virtual machine, it did not allow me to copy it into another environment. I should find a way to be able to export the command lines into another environment.

Thanks
Esmaeel

Just a hint. Try to install guest additions (are you using VirtualBox?)

No. I can reproduce that. The problem seems that something in the OpenFOAM-code changed concerning planes and/or wallDist. But the problematic stuff is not called directly by swak so I must have a look how to fix this for newer Foam-versions

But right now there is nothing you can do

Hello
I want to install Swak4Foam for OpenFoam 4.1, based on this website I download the zipped folder from this link and rename it to "swak4Foam" in my "/home/user/OpenFOAM/user-4.1/run/test4swak/swak4Foam". Then I do "./Allwmake" but I get error as

This is a clean install
No file 'swakConfiguration'. Python etc won't work. See README for details
Try 'ln -s swakConfiguration.automatic swakConfiguration' for automatic configuration. BEWARE: this does not work on some systems
Checking swak4Foam-version and generating file

Requirements for Library not satisfied. I see no sense in going on
Check the README before you go on to ask. And search: Most likely your problem occured to 5 other people before and has been solved on the MessageBoard

Has anyone ever successfully installed swak4Foam for OF >4?
