Clean Fedora 22 installation with all required libraries installed.

When building OpenFOAM 2.4.0, I had the following error message when CGAL is built:

Done ThirdParty Allwmake

Everything before that looks fine - that is all libraries CGAL needs are found properly.

Strangely, OpenFOAM was build correctly even with the above error. Maybe that is because I also have the CGAL-devel package installed?

BTW, I am using the system's cmake version 3.3.1. Might that be a problem? If I want to use the cmake distributed with OpenFOAM how can I do that?

Quick answer: I had tested Fedora 22 beta a long time ago with OpenFOAM 2.3.1, but only today did I look into this again. I've updated the wiki page accordingly: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...dora#Fedora_22

Indeed, the version CMake 2.8.12.1 that is provided with the ThirdParty package is compatible with CGAL 4.6, while CMake 3.3.x is not. To build and enable the custom build, run:

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
./makeCmake > mkcmake.log 2>&1
wmSET $FOAM_SETTINGS

Thanks. I am able to build everything following the instructions on your wiki page. The only minor problem I can see is that one of the dependent library is called 'qtwebkit-devel' in Fedora - without the dash between 'qt' and 'webkit'.

Many thanks! My Fedora 22 installation is still associating the name "qt-webkit-devel" to "qtwebkit-devel", so I didn't notice that detail. I've updated the wiki page accordingly!

Clean installation of OpenFOAM-3.0.1 on Fedora 23 Workstation (x86_64)

I followed the instructions for compiling the source on Fedora 22 at https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...M-2.4.0/Fedora with only a minor change to the process.

Everything went smoothly up until ./makeCmake (step 7). It seems ThirdParty-3.0.1 does not come packaged with an older version of cmake and so tries to switch to a directory that doesn't exist. To work around I downloaded ThirdParty-2.4.0.tgz, unpacked, and copied the cmake-2.8.12.1 directory over into ThirdParty-3.0.1. I also had to go into ./makeCmake and change the variable cmakePACKAGE=cmake-3.2.1 to cmakePACKAGE=cmake-2.8.12.1.

After that I ran into no issues and finished compiling everything in about 1.25 hours.

Thanks for the instructions!
