Dear everyone,

I am trying to compile foam extend 4.0 on F33 but its faiiling. I keep getting fatal error cannot find ld for almost every file it tries to compile. I tried using Fedora's own GCC 10 and I even installed GCC 4.9, 5.5, 6.5, 75, 8.4, 9.3 and it still gives the error. I have ld on my system to and have all the pre-requisites too.

Here is my pref.sh

unset WM_THIRD_PARTY_USE_CMAKE_322
export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI
export WM_CC=gcc55
export WM_CXX=g++55

My gcc and g++ executables are called gcc55 and g++55 (replace 55 with other versions like 49, 65, etc).

And here is a tidbit from my build log

make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

Any subsequent messages are the same, it tries to make a file but exits with error cannot find ld.

Anyone have any idea why this is?

Here is the log

So the log is attached.

It seems on Fedora, shebang throws an error for pyfoam because you need to specify the python version in the header of the .py files. I am able to edit them, however running thirdparty allmake replaces them again with the older files. Is there away I can edit the thirdpary allwmake to make that not happen? Also the only error left is the error in the pametis decomp files, gcc--53 throws some errors I don't understand.
