Hi everyone,

I would like to use groovyBc for some of my face boundaries.

Following the webpage for installation,

I proceeded and got stuck at this specific error.

In file included from entryToExpression/entryToExpression.H:50:0,
from entryToExpression/directEntryToExpression.H:49,
from entryToExpression/directEntryToExpression.C:37:
lnInclude/foamVersion4swak.H:8:37: error: floating constant in preprocessor expression
#define FOAM_VERSION4SWAK_PATCH_NUM 1.6-ext

And the same macro definition seems to fail creation of libraries.

Can anyone guide me here? I would like to use 1.6-ext instead of 3.1-ext as the modified code is seen to perform better though I need to dig deep and make my hands dirty.

Thanks;
Saideep

Quick question: I need more details. Which specific installation instructions did you follow and which swak4Foam version did you download?

According to what I wrote in the README with version 0.3.0 swak lost support for some installations of 1.6-ext (basically those not installed off the nextRelease-branch). If you need only "plain" groovyBC and no newer features I'd suggest you go back to old versions of swak that are still known to support 1.6-ext (I think that would be 0.2.3 or 0.2.4). Basically first clone the regular mercurial repository of swak and then move to the proper tag with

hg update version_0.2.3

or

hg update version_0.2.4

The current default or development-branch of the repository probably won't work with 1.6-ext anymore (at least I haven't tested it)

Thanks Bruno and GSchaider,

I tried to install swak-0.2.x as swak-0.3.x gives me an error saying "this version of swak is for OpenFOAM-2.x and higher".

So, I downloaded from the following webpage:
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...enFOAM_1.6-ext

My bison version was 3.x (this was the main problem) and as Gschaider mentioned that few api's of bison 3.x were not compatible with swak versions. I had to use the "maintainanceScripts" of newer swak version and paste it into my older version of swak.

Tweaking a bit of my Allwmake file (to let it know I have a local bison version of 2.x) as follows worked fine.

### added by me###
swakDir=$(pwd)
requirementsBin=$swakDir/privateRequirements/bin

if [ -e $requirementsBin ];
then
    echo
    echo "$requirementsBin existing. Prepending to PATH-variable (private version of Bison)"
    echo
    export PATH=$requirementsBin:$PATH
fi
###

Would be good if you added this script into the older swak version as well.

Thanks guys.
