Hi,

according to these release notes, I succefully downloaded and installed OF on bash into windows 10.

https://openfoam.org/download/windows-10/

Is there a way to install cfMesh as well as a similar way to above link?

If I run Allwmake script I have following errors:

wmake libso meshLibrary
/opt/openfoam-dev/wmake/wmake: row 405: make: command not found
/opt/openfoam-dev/wmake/wmake: row 408: make: command not found
/opt/openfoam-dev/wmake/wmake: row 434: make: command not found
/opt/openfoam-dev/wmake/wmake: row 465: exec: make: command not found
/opt/openfoam-dev/wmake/wmake: row 316: make: comando non trovato
wmake utilities
/opt/openfoam-dev/wmake/wmake: row 316: make: comando non trovato

but If I list the opt directory I can see that there's the wmake folder:

winuntu@DESKTOP-PKLACF4:/opt/openfoam-dev$ tree -L 1

├── applications

and

winuntu@DESKTOP-PKLACF4:/opt/openfoam-dev/wmake$ tree -L 1
.

Please, can someone help me?

Regards.

I think the problem is that you're missing the binary or alias for make. You can find out easily by running:
which make
at the terminal. If it returns an error, then you need to install make. No idea how to do this on Winbash. Does it have apt? You should be able to install it from there.

If make is installed but the command 'make' is not an alias to its binary you may have to create that alias.

Hi thanks for the hint. I agree with you about linux, but it's a company workstation and it must have Windows as main OS. I'll check your suggestion.

Quick answer: When compiling custom code to work with OpenFOAM, you need to install the packages needed for development as well. For example, the packages needed for OpenFOAM from the OpenFOAM Foundation are listed here: https://openfoam.org/download/source...r-compilation/
