I'm trying to compile waves2Foam on ubuntu 18.04 and with OF-2.4.0. I'm getting an error when the compiler trys to make waveFoam. When Compiling the library I get an error at the start:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran

and end:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwaves2Foam
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwaves2FoamSampling
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
/home/callum/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/wmake/Makefile:149: recipe for target '/home/callum/OpenFOAM/callum-2.4.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/waveFoam' failed
make: *** [/home/callum/OpenFOAM/callum-2.4.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/waveFoam] Error 1

which results in the solvers/ preprocessing/ post-processing to fail. Just to confirm I definately have gfortran installed on the default path as I used apt-get to install all of the dependencies. What's weird is that OceanWave3D & Fenton's compile which use gfortran.

I've attached a log if anyone can help.

hi, Callum

Have you figure it out? I meet the same problem when I complie waves2Foam with OpenFOAM1912 using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.

Unfortunately not, I opted to use another toolbox called olaFlow because of this issue.

thanks for your information. Acutally I have solved this problem by reinstalling gcc use 'make install'. Hope this approach works for you too.

Hello
I also install wave2Foam in OF1812 centos 7, but I get error "cannot find -lwaves2Foam" can you tell more detail your case, please.
Many thanks

Hi,
For me, the root of the error is WSL. I only met this problem when installing wave2Foam on WSL, and it didn't happen for my desktop with Ubuntu 18.04.

Hi,Ningning, I also complied waves2Foam with OpenFOAM1912 using Ubuntu virtual system on Windows.
when I complie the "ThirdParty" folder, I met the error:
make: *** [makefile:138：ORDERINGS/ccn.o] error 1
mv:'libskit_gfortran.a' folder state (stat): No such file or directory

Do you have any idea of this error? really appreciate for any suggestions
