How do I compile openFoam 4 after changing it from opt to debug mode in the bashrc file?

I can change the file successfully and I compile the file and then run Allmake in the source files, then I type

which IcoFoam

into the terminal but nothing shows up, but when it was it opt mode some other path showed up.

Hi,

I've tried option two bc it seems like the best choice for my situation but I am unable to compile openFoam after I edited the file.
I ran

./Allmake

(As the instructions say)
Then went into the case causing the problems and the solver isn't even recognized as a command anymore.

Quick answer @yeya: I have no idea if you have solved this problem or not. If not, then:

1. Undo the changes you made and build OpenFOAM as it was again.
2. I don't know which installation instructions you've used. I need to know which ones you've used, so that I can give the correct way on how to do the additional installation of the Debug build.

Quick answer: I need to know what installation instructions you have followed.

My apologies for taking so long to get back to you on this, but unfortunately I haven't had enough time test or even think properly about this myself.

Nonetheless, if you haven't solved the problem yet, I strongly suggest that you following the instructions on how to build OpenFOAM from source code, as explained here: http://openfoam.org/download/4-1-source/
That way you don't damage the installation you have in "/opt".

If you then still have problems building OpenFOAM in debug mode, then please use the following command for running Allwmake:

./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

Then compress the file "log.make", for example by running this command:

gzip < log.make > log.make.gz

and then attach the file "log.make.gz" to your next post.

Hi,
I changed opt to Debug mode and then successfully recompiled the source code. in platforms and Make folders new folder named linux64Gcc47DPDebug is created for OF main solvers and applications. But when i try to compile my custom solver it compiles as linux64Gcc47DPOpt. So when i want to run my solver in debug mode OF does not recognize it. My OF version is 2.1.1.
How can i fix this issue?

Regards,
Behzad

Quick answer and question:

• It looks like the problem is that this occurs after you start a new terminal.
• How do you activate OpenFOAM 2.1.1 when you start a new terminal?
  • If you don't know, start reading here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...ment_Variables - namely from chapter "2. OpenFOAM Environment Variables"

Thanks for answer,
I solved the problem before. It was my mistake that i didn't open new terminal after changing bashrc. My environmental variables are okey.
