Hi,

I am trying to install Openfoam 1.4 for cygwin . I have followed the readme instructions up to the point before compile and am getting a critical error saying icofoam not installed. Can I proceed with the compile or do I need to fix this and if so how?

Here is the installtion test report:

Hi Chris,

Yes you can proceed, since icoFoam is a product of the compile. However you'll have to meet some difficulties as the Cygwin port is becoming a bit outdated. Hope you can get it to work with the help of another thread.
