Dear OpenFOAMers,


I just tried to compiled v1806 on ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but, immedicately got an error message as follows:

:~/OpenFOAM$ source ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/etc/bashrc


No completion added for /home/phsieh-plus/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/bin
... incorrect platform, or not yet compiled?
--------------------------------------------------------------


Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions?

Hi, do not worry. After you source the bashrc it checks for some compiled binaries. It does not find them, as you do not have them so it prints a warning saying ....not yet compiled?

To compile, you simply type:


>> foam
>> ./Allwmake -j -log

...to use all cores for compilation.

It is very important survival skill to read the error and warning messages and try to understand them, at least in OpenFOAM.

Thanks!


I have been using OpenFOAM since it became open source. Never seen this before.


Now, I have a new problem with compiling paraview.

Oh you have not mentioned any paraview related problem. the Allwmake script is updated to give meaningful warnings and error messages.

And paraview compilation is a story on its own especially when you are compiling it on distros which are updating libraries and cmake and others in a different pace.

Let me know if you need more help.

HI, Mat,


Thanks!


OpenFOAM v1806 itself compiled successfully.


I noticed another thread discussing compiling ParaView. I will see if I can get ParaView to compile by following suggestions there.


Best regards,

Yes, makes sense since the bash completions are reasonably new, but most convenient.

Hi,


I have compiled paraview v5.5.2 using cmake 3.12.1 and Qt 5.9.5 (pre-installed) on ubuntu 18.04...What is the problem you are facing?
