Hello, this is probably caused by my lack of understanding on how .bash and wmake works, but since I couldn't figure out how to go through, here I am seeking for help.

The app I am trying to install is here: https://github.com/NREL/SOWFA. It works with OpenFOAM 2.4.0 and it is what I have currently.
Instructions on how to install SOWFA is given in this file. According to it, one has to configure the provided .bash_profile file according to their system.
First thing; I am not sure how to use that .bash_profile file. Should I copy the contents and append it to $HOME/.bash file, or "source" the file in some way? Some light on this will be appreciated.
After that configuration, the Allwmake script must be run. Now when I run it, I get the following error:

Making dependency list for source file windPlantSolver.C
could not open file horizontalAxisWindTurbinesALM.H for source file windPlantSolver.C due to No such file or directory

compilation terminated.
make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/windPlantSolver.o] Error 1

and a series of errors after that complaining same/similar files are missing. This error is caused by the following lines in Allwmake file:

# The wind plant solver with the standard actuator line.
cd applications/solvers/incompressible/windEnergy/windPlantSolver.ALM
wmake
cd ../../../../../

in which the directory is changed to here. In here, options file for wmake is this and I am suspecting the following line it has:

    -I$(WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR)/src/turbineModels/turbineModelsStandard/lnInclude \

since the cannot-be-found horizontalAxisWindTurbinesALM.H file is supposed to be there. Now, how can I define this, I am not sure. Probably it has something to do with the line starting with

-I$(WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR) ...

in the Make/options file; which is a probable problem linking back to the .bash_profile file.

How am i supposed to use that .bash_profile file and the SOWFA-2.4.x() function in it? Or is the problem somewhere else?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi redbullah,


In case you or anyone else are still wondering, you can add

export WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR={your_dir_to_SOWFA}/SOWFA/

in Allwmake in your SOWFA directory so that horizontalAxisWindTurbinesALM.Hcan be located.


For those having $(SOWFA_DIR) in the Make/options file, it's better to look at SOWFA/.bash_profile and see how SOWFA_DIR is defined. Then you either modify and source the .bash_profile or export SOWFA_DIR yourself and make sure the export is done in SOWFA/Allwmake as shown above. From my experience, whenever such problem pops up during compiling, just look at its Make/options file and some path variables is probably not properly set.
