Hallo,

I'm currently trying to compile foam-extend-3.2 on my Windows 7 x64 system with MinGW according to the recommendations from the official foam-extend-project site. The setting of the environmental variables is fine, the screenshot is attached, but I have some troubles when compiling:

1. Metis-5.1.0 gives me errors:

2. OpenFOAM does not find the header files and terminates compilation:

Had anyone something similar before? Best regards, Maks

Hallo, it seems that the root of the second problem is in the find.exe utility. The windows-version was taken by default in MinGW and the symbolic links to the headers were not created. So the solution to the second problem is to download the package findutils and add its bin to the windows-path.

However, I'm still in trouble with metis-5.1.

Best regards, Maks

Hallo, so I have solved the above listed problems with compiling metis, but now I get constantly problems with scotch and OpenMPI. I have already tried different versions of MinGW-64 with OpenMPI 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 for Win64 (I think this is the latest which can be found in Internet with windows installer), but I always get the error in the output:

What can be a reason of this? Thanks in advance, Maks

Hallo again,

I have accomplished to make a clean compiling of the ThirdParty folders and I can get the OpenFOAM extend to compile. However I see a lot of messages "could not open..." in Allwmake.log and I don't have the turbulence models (RAS at least, possibly others also) as the result. The typical error messages are shown below. What does go wrong?

Best regards, Maks.

Hi, Maks. I'm also trying to compile foam-extend 4.0 on a win7 x64 system with mingw-w64&Msys2. I followed the official installation guide in doc/buildInstructions/Windows, but I ran into some compiling problems with Thirdparty tools including Metis-5.1.0. The error message is the same with those in your #1 post, so I'd like to know how you solved this Metis compiling problem. Thank you very much!

[kirmaks]

Hi Chris,

I should say that finally I have installed the precompiled Win64 version of OpenFOAM from CFD Support because I had another problems with compilation of OF itself (some parts were OK, some not). It was already a long ago, but according to my notes the solution to the metis compilation problem was to uncomment the following lines in .\foam-extend-4.0\ThirdParty\mingwBuild\x64\patches\metis-5.1.0\GKlib\gk_getopt.h:

extern char *gk_optarg;
extern int gk_optind;
extern int gk_opterr;
extern int gk_optopt;

I hope it will help, best regards, Maksim

[cjwdz]

Thank you very much, Marksim.
Still I have some different problems with the scotch and left parts of installation, but it did work for compiling metis following your tips.

Hi Maks,

I'm also trying to compile foam extend 4.0 on Windows OS, and I'm suffering the same errors when compile the scotch. Would you please explain how can you solve these problems? Thank you very much!
