Good evening.

I have compiled OP2006 and waves2FOAm but when I try to run the tutorial wave/Foam/waveFlume appers this error. Can anyone help me?

Hello everyone,

Has anyone had luck compiling waves2Foam on Windows Subsystem for Linux? I have attempted to compile waves2Foam using different versions of OpenFOAM (v2006, v1912, v1812, and v1712) without much luck so far. After reading through many forum posts, I realize that waves2Foam is not fully compliable for newer versions of OF, so I intend to use a stable version with v1812 or v1712, whichever works.

I have made sure that all the third-party dependencies are installed and are working (git, gfortran, svn, and gsl), which I installed using apt-get install, e.g.,

sudo apt-get install git ;

sudo apt-get install gfortran ;

sudo apt-get install subversion ; and

sudo apt-get install libgsl-dev

My waves2Foam install folder is located at ~/OpenFOAM/<user>-v<version>/OpenFoam/applications/utilities/waves2Foam as indicated in the instruction manual, where <user> is my username and <version> is 1712, 1812, 1912, etc.

and my OpenFOAM installation is located at
/opt/OpenFOAM/

When I attempt to compile waves2Foam by entering ~/OpenFOAM/<user>-v<version>/OpenFoam/applications/utilities/waves2Foam and then running ./Allwmake , Ubuntu runs through the compilation to completion. However, in all cases, I get error messages like :

-limmiscibleIncompressibleTwoPhaseMixture -lturbulenceModels -lincompressibleTurbulenceModels -lfiniteVolume -lfvOptions -lmeshTools -lsampling -L/home/bknorris/OpenFOAM/bknorris-v1712/platforms/linux64Gcc63DPInt32Opt/lib -lwaves2Foam -lwaves2FoamPorosity -lwaves2FoamSampling -L/usr/lib64 -lgsl -lgslcblas -lOpenFOAM -ldl \
-lm -o /home/bknorris/OpenFOAM/bknorris-v1712/platforms/linux64Gcc63DPInt32Opt/bin/porousWaveFoam
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwaves2Foam
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwaves2FoamSampling

If I try to run say the waveFlume tutorial, I get the following error in one of the log files generated by ./Allrun,

/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1712/bin/tools/RunFunctions: line 146: setWaveParameters: command not found

Can anyone help? I'm thinking that maybe waves2Foam is just incompatible with Ubuntu on Windows? I have attached my second run of ./Allwmake if it is of use.

Thank you!

Ben

Ubuntu and v1912.

Step by Step:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install gcc g++ gfortran gsl-bin make
sudo apt-get install m4 bison flex subversion ptscotch cmake
sudo apt-get install mpi-default-dev wget
sudo apt-get install libz-dev libgsl-dev vim nano git

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc
nano bashrc

Select the system compiler ->Go to the line where is written WM_COMPILER TYPE
export WM_COMPILER_TYPE=system
source $HOME/.basrhrc

Compile waves2FOAM. If you have some problem at Ocean3D-Fortran go to the folder thirdparty and compile the VTK.

Dear Luiz
Hi,

Can you explain more how to select system compiler? I cant find it in nano bashrc page

It is for some days that I am trying to install waves2Foam on Ubuntu 18.04. No success

I have tried OpenFoam3.0.1 but failed.

Now I have installed openFoam v2006 from source code in HOME folder (I was going to install 1712, but it is no longer available on https://www.openfoam.com/ ).

I have done all steps I see in this thread but still no success.
I have attached the log file when making waves2FOAM on OFv2006:
Waves2FOAM.zip

I really appreciate if anyone could help.

Best Regards,
Vahid

Hi Vahid,

I have put together some instructions for installing waves2foam on Ubuntu (WSL). Please note that these installation instructions are for OF v1912, I do not know if they will work for other versions of OF.

Also, you might try un-installing any third party dependencies ("sudo apt-get remove..."), including other OF installations, before trying a 'clean' install of waves2foam.

# How to install waves2Foam on Ubuntu (Windows 10)

Install OF v1912:
1. Download .tgz from here: https://www.openfoam.com/download/release-history.php to c:\Users\<USER>\Downloads
2. In Ubuntu, run command: cp -ar /mnt/c/Users/<USER>/Downloads/OpenFOAM-v1912-windows10.tgz .
3. run command: sudo tar -xvzf  OpenFOAM-v1912-windows10.tgz -C /opt/
4. run command: sudo chown -R $USER /opt/OpenFOAM
5. run command: echo "source /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1912/etc/bashrc" >> ~/.bashrc
6. run command: source $HOME/.bashrc
7. OpenFOAM should work (hint: type 'whereis icoFoam'. If bash returns '/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1912/platforms/linux64Gcc63DPInt32Opt/bin/icoFoam' then it is working)

Install third-party dependencies:
1. run command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
2. run command: sudo apt-get install gcc g++ gfortran gsl-bin make
3. run command: sudo apt-get install m4 bison flex subversion ptscotch cmake
4. run command: sudo apt-get install mpi-default-dev wget
5. run command: sudo apt-get install libz-dev libgsl-dev vim nano git
6. run command: cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc
7. edit bashrc: nano bashrc
	7a. Select the system compiler -> Go to the line where is written WM_COMPILER TYPE and change 'ThirdParty' to 'system'
			# [WM_COMPILER_TYPE] - Compiler location:
			# = system | ThirdParty
				WM_COMPILER_TYPE system
	7b. save bashrc and exit nano
	7c. run command: source $HOME/.bashrc

Compile waves2Foam:
1. run command: cd ~/
2. run command: mkdir $HOME/../applications/utilities
3. run command: cd $HOME/../applications/utilities
4. run command: svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-ex...her/waves2Foam
5. run command: cd waves2Foam/
6. run command: ./Allwmake
7. waves2Foam should now be compiled; type 'whereis waveFoam', bash should return '/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1912/platforms/linux64Gcc63DPInt32Opt/bin/waveFoam'

Dear Vahid,

I would strongly suggest to you to use OFv1712 rather OFv2006. Here is the link of the respository for the version https://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam/files/v1712/

Also, I don't believe that waves2Foam has v2006 version.

Finally, to find the bashr of OpenFOAM, you need to search for the etc folder the OpenFOAM installation. For example,
/home/<Folder where is installed your OpenFOAM>/etc

In a more tangible sample, considering that you are using OFv2006:
/home/OpenFOAM-v2006/etc

There will be the bashrc.

Obs.: if you compiled the source code you don't need to change the bashrc because it will be already at system compiler.

Cheers,

LP

Thank you Luiz and Benjamin,
I finally made it

As Luiz said, I installed OFv1712 from source code on my Ubuntu18.04.
Then downloaded and compiled Wave2Foam exactly according to instructions in its manual.

For installing GNU SCIENTIFIC LIBRARY (GSL) dependencies, I found following page helpful:
GSL

I also tried to install waves2Foam on Ubuntu WSL (on windows10), but it was not successful. I compiled waves2Foam but the tutorials didn't run.

Anyway, thank you all for your time.

Best Regards,
Vahid

Hello
I install wave2foam in OF1812 in centos, get the error "cannot find -lwaves2Foam"

Could you give some tips, please. Many Thanks.

[lppferreira]

You need to compile the thirdparty inside waves2foam. AfterShip you need tô compile Ocean3d again.

I was actually just able to compile it successfully! When I checked out the repository yesterday, I may have made a mistake and ended up with the older version.


I checked it out again today, and upon sourcing bin/bashrc, the OF version number v1812 now displayed correctly, and everything worked fine for the waves2Foam compilation.



Thanks so much for your work and your support on here!

Thousand thanks to your tip. I can compile wave2foam in of1812 centos 7

Dear all,

I am facing an issue with waves2Foam installation in Ubuntu 22.04 with OpenFOAM-v2012. can anyone help me to find this issue?



thanks

Hello Sandana,

I'm facing an issue installing the version 2012 of openfoam with the same issues that yours. Did you find any solutions to them?

Thanks.
Kossivi

[AbdoMusaad]

Hi Kossivi,



I am facing similar error to what Sandana has attached. i am using openfoamv2312. Please let me know if you found a solution to this problem.



Thanks in advance.
