Hello,

I'm trying to install swak4FOAM following https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/swak4Foam. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.1 and I've installed openFOAM2006 from their repository.

openfoam:
  Installed: 2006.1-1
  Candidate: 2006.1-1
  Version table:
 *** 2006.1-1 500
          500 https://dl.openfoam.com/repos/deb focal/main amd64 Packages

Most of the compilation seems to succeed, but I get an error at the end which I'm not able to resolve. The "simpleFunctionObjects" library seems to be failing compilation.

Please include the output above when reporting a problem in the compilation. It helps diagnosing the problem

    ln: simpleFunctionObjects/lnInclude
wmake libso swak4FoamParsers
make: /wmake/makefiles/files: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/wmake/makefiles/files'.  Stop.

wmake error: file 'Make//sourceFiles' could not be created in /root/openFOAM/swak4Foam/Libraries/swak4FoamParsers
Parser library did not compile OK. No sense continuing as everything else depends on it

Requirements for Library not satisfied. I see no sense in going on
 Check the README before you go on to ask. And search: Most likely your problem occurred to 5 other people before and has been solved on the MessageBoard

I've attached the entire log from the make process. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Chris

Found the problem. I had to source the following file first:

 source /usr/lib/openfoam/openfoam2006/etc/bashrc

After that compilation finished wo/ a problem.

Another fast solution, simple enter "openfoam2006" (it is actually /usr/bin/openfoam2006) and you will have an interactive bash session with an OpenFOAM environment.

OK. I'll adapt the script so that it fails with an error message if no OpenFOAM-version is initialized (it didn't occur to me that someone might try to compile swak without OpenFOAM)

Thanks, that would help a lot. I'm a sysop installing the software for a user, so I tend to do installs from the OS perspective. I don't use the software, I only install it. Often this is the better way when compiling software for more then one user. It's not doable to open an application on every users system to install the plugins/addons.

OK. My condolences


If your users share their OpenFOAM-installations then you might be interested in maintainanceScripts/copySwakFilesToSite.sh

That script covers the swak4Foam binaries compiled by/for the current user into a directory that is added to the PATH for everyone who uses that OpenFOAM-installation
