Hello everyone,

Thank you in advance for reading my question and hopefully anyone can help me further.

So I installed openfoam on my windows computer (first using docker but then I uninstalled that to install it using Windows Subsystem for Linux (with ubuntu)). And this all works quite well for the cavity case (also paraview etc.) but then we I try to do the second tutorial, the flow around a cylinder, I get the following error and I do not have a clue how to solve this.

Can anyone help me with this? Thank you in advance.

This should have been solved in the debian pack (I thought). I assume that you have installed the openfoam2106-dev package?
In worst case, can install make, gcc manually as well. Not exactly elegant but should get you going.

BTW: in general it is better/faster/easier to use the #eval directive instead of #calc.
