Hi

I downloaded OpenFOAM Dev from 'https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev.git' and try to build 64 bits version of OpenFOAM.

I buld gcc 4.8.4, Boost 1.57.0, Binutils 2.25 , mp 5.1.2, mpfr 3.1.2 and mpc 1.0.1 and cmake 2.8.12.1 using instruction from http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...CentOS_SL_RHEL. I set WM_LABEL_SIZE=64 in OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-devetc/bashrc rather than using prefs.sh.

I get the following error when building OpenFOAM-dev 64 bits version:

Building the 32 bits version was sucessfull without making changes other than by setting 'WM_LABEL_SIZE=32' in OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-devetc/bashrc

Any idea what might be the problem and is there a patch available to fix OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/src/parallel/decompose/scotchDecomp/scotchDecomp.C ?

Any pointer appreciated.

Thank you

Greetings Eric,

Which specific Linux distribution and version are you using?

I ask this because I have both 32 and 64 Integer builds (both 64-bit Double Precision) successfully built on Ubuntu 12.04, and I didn't need any modifications to "Scotch" nor "scotchDecomp".

In addition, why didn't you guide yourself by the instructions for OpenFOAM 2.3.1? Namely these: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...CentOS_SL_RHEL

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi,

I guess it is a feature of -dev version:

#if WM_LABEL_SIZE == 32
const char* const Foam::pTraits<int64_t>::typeName = "int64";
const char* const Foam::pTraits<int32_t>::typeName = "label";
#elif WM_LABEL_SIZE == 64
const char* const Foam::pTraits<int64_t>::typeName = "label";
const char* const Foam::pTraits<int32_t>::typeName = "int32";
#endif

(in 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 label.H is different).

So after setting WM_LABEL_SIZE to 64, label becomes int64_t or long int while SCOTCH_Num rests int. And all List<label> which were passed to Scotch calls as lst.begin() fail to compile.

But as it is Git version, guess it will be fixed.

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the reply. I build OpenFOAM-dev on CentOS 6.5 (2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64). I have build OpenFOAM 2.3.1 successfully on CentOS 6.5 and CentOS 7 using the instruction link mentioned.

I also did a quick test build with OpenFOAM-dev on CentOS 7.0 (3.10.0-123.13.1.el7.x86_64), I get the same error "
scotchDecomp.C:447:9: error: cannot convert 'Foam::UList<long int>::const_iterator {aka const long int*}' to 'const SCOTCH_Num* {aka const int*}' for argument '4' to 'int SCOTCH_graphBuild(SCOTCH_Graph*, SCOTCH_Num, SCOTCH_Num, const SCOTCH_Num*, const SCOTCH_Num*, const SCOTCH_Num*, const SCOTCH_Num*, SCOTCH_Num, const SCOTCH_Num*, const SCOTCH_Num*)'
)

Reading through the instruction from http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...CentOS_SL_RHEL, I pretty much do the exact steps apart from using newer boost (1.57.0) and binutils (2.25) packages.


Thank you

Hi Eric,

Sorry, I completely forgot that this didn't work for me either on Ubuntu. Nonetheless, the feature of "stop on first error" is something new to "OpenFOAM-dev". You can bypass this by running Allwmake like this:

./Allwmake -k

And if you want to compile/build with the full power of your workstation (i.e. multi-core):

./Allwmake -k -j

As for the issue with Scotch, it was reported back by Henry himself when he was implementing this new feature: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1472#c3420 - but I think he accidentally switched the names "scotch" and "CGAL" on that comment.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the tips. Able to build OpenFOAM-dev 64 bits with the '-k' flag .

Thanks for your help

Thank you

Greetings Eric,

I've finally put "two and two together", based on this bug report: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1537 - which essentially reports the same issue.
My problem was that I used the tarball from "ThirdParty-2.3.1" and completely forgot that the repository "ThirdParty-dev" even existed: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-dev/

If somehow you did something similar to me, then I suggest you do the following commands:

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR/..
git clone https://github.com/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-dev.git ThirdParty-dev_git

rsync -a ThirdParty-dev_git/ ThirdParty-dev/
cd ThirdParty-dev/

ls -l $FOAM_EXT_LIBBIN
rm -r $FOAM_EXT_LIBBIN

./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

Then check the contents of the file "log.make". You should find there several occurrences of what Henry stated that should appear, namely "-DINTSIZE64".

Note: the rsync command will ensure that everything that is needed is properly copied to the current 3rd party folder.

If all went well, then run:

foam
./Allwmake -j > log.make 2>&1

Hopefully it will now be able to successfully build the "scotchDecomp" libraries with 64-bit integers.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the pointer and info.

I indeed use ThirdParty-2.3.1 tarball rather than "ThirdParty-dev". With your instruction, building "scotchDecomp" was successful.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you

Dear wyldckat,

When I tried to compile OF 3.0.x with $WM_LABEL_SIZE of 64bit. I met the same problem.
I have followed your way to compile the scotch tool. But I failed, the situation is a little different.:

My operation system is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. In the Third-Party-3.0.x file folder I download scotch 6.0.4 source code and put it in file folder of name "scotch_6.0.3". I did that because I want to use new version of scotch (I can give up this demand). When I run ./Allmake in Third-Party-3.0.x folder, I got the -DINTSIZE64.
But when I run ./Allmake in folder OpenFOAM-3.0.x, I failed to getr -DINTSIZE64
Can you help me?
Thanks very much!

Update~!
I have sucessful compile the scotch as I use scotch 6.0.3 source code.
It seems that I shouldn't modify the installation steps.
Thanks you wyldckat!
