[waves2Foam] trying to install the waves2Foam toolbox with OpenFoam 2.3.0

andr5w5 · June 30, 2014, 09:22

Hi there,

I am very new to OpenFoam and Linux and I have trying to install the waves2Foam toolbox. I am using OpenFoam 2.3.0 and so I have followed the steps on the wiki page to copy the "interFoam" folder into the waves2foam solvers folder and to change the waveFoam.C, createFields.H, the make/files and the make/options files. I have also changed the Path in the bashrc file to the correct location of the toolbox.

However when I try to run the waveFlume tutorial via "./Allrun" I get the following error message in the log.postProcessWaves2Foam file:

" /opt/openfoam230/bin/tools/RunFunctions: line 52: postProcessWaves2Foam: command not found "

I also get similar error message in the other log files except from the blockMesh file!

Can anyone tell me where I have went wrong?

Many thanks in advance.

Good evening,

@Andrew: Either your compilation was unsuccessful for some reason, or the solvers and utilities are not in your search path. You do not need to make waveFoam yourself, as it is already there for 2.3.0. Furthermore, note that the guidelines are outdated, as is also explicitly stated on the wiki, but they do show the general idea.

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi Niels,

So the interFoam folder does not need to be copied over into a new solvers "solvers21" folder ?

I will try to play around with this more this morning and hopefully have more success than Ive had the last few days.

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry to bother you again with what I'm sure is a silly mistake on my part but I still cant seem to get the compilation to work without errors.

It seems the problem lies in the "COMPILE LIBRARY" part of the code where I continue to get an error message stating:

" /bin/sh: 1: g+: not found
make: *** [/home/andrew/OpenFOAM/andrew-2.3.0/platforms/linuxGccDPOpt/lib/libwaves2Foam.so] Error 127"

I have made sure that g++ is installed, is there an error that the program is looking for "g+" and not "g++" ?

Thanks.

Good afternoon,

@Andrew: I have no idea, why you are getting that error. Best of luck.

Kind regards,

Niels
