Hi all,

I want to install OpenFoam on Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (alpha proc).
Perhaps someone as done it before ?
Any help will be welcome.

I will send a post if it works !
Thank's
Francois

[nils]

Hi Francois,

I will start to do the same next week. I will also post here, if it works, or when I get to problems, what they are.

I hope it works, this would save me a lot of time...

Hi,

Actoally, there is a port being done on lemieux at the moment, which is one of the big Dec machines. I have revived the dec build setup, but there are minor problems with handling a local optimized version of MPI. If you're building on a "normal" Dec, please let me know and I can pass over the setup files.

Some direct communication will be necessary and I assume you know about how to set up the build system in foam for a new architecture.

Hi,

I'm sorry but I'm very busy at work for the moment and don't have the time to do anything despite courses for the student. Last weeks I only try to build gcc 3.4.3 on tru64 but it fails to compil ... so you see where I'm at the moment ...

[steja]

Hi Hrvoje,

Since we also have some "normal" DEC-Alpha workstations available we would like to install and run OpenFOAM on these machines. What steps need to be done for running on Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A. Could you also pass the setup-files please. Are there any problems with "normal"-mpi or any other difficulties we should know about?

Thank you, Steffen

[hjasak]

Hi,

I don't really want to get involved in porting onto a machine I haven't got access to (and there is a lot of other things I should be doing anyway) :-), but here's some help.

1) You will need to know how to set up a new machine. Entries are required in:

~/.OpenFOAM-1.1/cshrc

and

~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.1/.cshrc

Have a look at the stuff for other machines

2) I can send you a decAlphaGcc pack for wmake - this goes into:

~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.1/wmake/rules

(again, see other machines for examples).

Make sure you've got gnu flex, bison, gmake, gzip and gtar - Decs are very bad for standard tools.

As for the pack, send me and E-mail on h dot jasak at dial dot pipex dot com and I'll E-mail it back to you.

Good luck,

Hrv

Hi,

we managed to compile gcc-3.4.3 and OpenFOAM on our Tru64-system. We used MPICH-1.2.6 instead of
LAM-7.1.1, because LAM did not work (the
dynamic linker reported errors)
The tutorials run fine on a single CPU. We then wanted to run a parallel case on 16 CPUs. Therefore we modified the channel395-example and raised the resolution up to 1.9 million cells.
After starting with mpirun we get the following message. We do not understand this (each node has 2GB of RAM) and perhaps it is not really related to too few memory.
Is there a way to get more debugging information, e.g. from which node the message is coming? We compiled OpenFOAM with the Debug-option (binaries are in decAlphaGccDebug directory)

For easier parallel debugging have a look at the lamrun script which I posted some time ago. It will run every process in its own window inside gdb.

- are you sure you use the -parallel command line argument? How big are the processor* directory meshes? (just run checkMesh on them)

[francois]

Steffen,

In your previous post you have said that you "managed to compile gcc-3.4.3 and OpenFOAM on our Tru64-system".

I have gcc-3.4.3 up and running, but try to compile OpenFOAM on Tru64. Assuming you are using the bash shell, please could you explain us what you have done with those files:

- ~/.OpenFOAM-1.1/bashrc to add a check for True64-system and set WM_ARCH and WM_MPLIB

- ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.1/.bashrc

- $WM_DIR/rules/$WM_ARCH

Thank's four your help.
Francois

[francois]

Some news ...

Thank's to Hrvoje Jasak I'm trying to build OpenFOAM1.2 on tru64 with the wmake/rule he send to me. For the moment it's compiling and everything seems to be ok ...

So, if someone is interested the folowing procedures may be helpfull:

Assuming you are using the bash shell you must test your system type and modify some variables in

* ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.OpenFOAM-1.2/bashrc add the lines before "# An unsupported operating system"

# Tru64 workstation
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
elif [ "$machineTest" = "OSF1" ]; then

export WM_ARCH=tru64
#export WM_MPLIB=LAM
export WM_MPLIB=MPI

* ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.bashrc add the PATH for JAVA before "# An unsupported operating system"

# Tru64 workstation
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
elif [ "$machineTest" = "OSF1" ]; then

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/opt/java14

* create the directory ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/wmake/rules/tru64Gcc

and put the wmake/rules from the attached to this post in this directory. I hope I'm not wrong but I think that the name of this directory depends on the WM_ARCH variable you have set previously in
~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.OpenFOAM-1.2/bashrc

* be sure you have gcc, gnu flex, bison, gmake, gzip and gtar in your PATH.

* Then go to ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/ and try ./Allwmake

Good luck.
Francois

oup's the attachment didn't work

Hi all,

Last night I try to build OpenFOAM-1.2 with gcc-4.0.1. But I got errors during the building process. I'm an old Fortran developper so the messages aren't very helpfull to me ... if there is any c++ guru here, they are welcome !

What's wrong here ?
The gcc-4.0.1 version I use was build with gcc-3.4.3:

gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: alphaev7-dec-osf5.1b
Configured with: ../gcc-4.0.1/configure --prefix=/data2/beaubert/usr/local --enable-languages=c,c++
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1

[mattijs]

Change the template-depth option to say 30 like for the other ports.

The meshTools library was probably not built as a consequence of this so linking of other libraries failed.

[francois]

Tank's Mattijs !

That's I was trying at the moment but I only increase the template-depth option to 20 !

I will try a value of 30 ...

[francois]

Thank's for your help Mattijs, it works with a template-depth option to 30. But I'm now experiencing other problems when building OpenFOAM applications like potentialFoam below:

As anybody see this before ?

[mattijs]

These routines are all in the Pstream library (which I assume you have compiled already). See if it links if you add a -lPstream to your link line.

If this solves the problem add it to all your link lines by adding it to your $WM_DIR/rules/ files. (see e.g. the solaris entry)

[francois]

Thanks Mattijs for your help !
Indeed the Pstream library was not in the path.

I add the following line to OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/wmake/rules/tru64Gcc/general file:

GLIBS = -L$(FOAM_LIBBIN)/dummy -lPstream -lm

The next error was that gmake was not in my PATH. OpenFOAM need it in the OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/src/Allwmake script. The make version I use is the gnu one but the executable is "make" not "gmake". So I rename it gmake and put it in my PATH.

and now it works expect some problems with FoamX:

Next challange for me will be the lam or pmich support for OpenFOAM.


Thanks again for your very helpfull messages Mattijs, without you I could not be able to build OpenFOAM.

[francois]

The problem "runFoamXHB: 317631 Killed" is fixed now.

As mentioned for the solaris port, the OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/applications/utilities/preProcessing/FoamX/lib/FoamX.jar

doesn't contains the necessary stuf to start OpenFOAM. So I download FoamX.jar from the OpenFOAM-1.2.General.tgz archive for linux and replace it.

It works ...

[francois]

I manage to install OpenFOAM1.2 on a dec-alpha cluster (Tru64 OS) of a friend.

I use my own build of OpenFOAM on Tru64 and make a tar of it and untar it on my friend's cluster.

But something is wrong with this new installation.

For example when I try to build foamToTecplot in foamToTecplot dir with wmake I've got the following error:

~/OpenFOAM/openf-1.2/applications/foamToTecplot]
openf@.....$ wmake
Make: Cannot open /home/sngetj/openf/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/wmake/Make/tru64GccOpt/options. Stop.

Make: Cannot open /home/sngetj/openf/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/wmake/Make/tru64GccOpt/options. Stop.

Well I dont know why wmake try to find Make/tru64GccOpt/options file in $WM_DIR because this file is the current dir.

The login shell is tcsh but I use bash as a working shell and configuration for OpenFOAM:

echo $WM_SHELL
tcsh

When I do . ~/.bashrc I've got an error:
Executing: /home/sngetj/openf/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.bashrc
Executing: /home/sngetj/openf/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.OpenFOAM-1.2/apps/ensightFoam/bashrc
Executing: /home/sngetj/openf/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.OpenFOAM-1.2/apps/paraview/bashrc
bash: setenv: command not found

I dont know why this setenv is there for bash scripts ?!

I've tried to configure OpenFOAM for tcsh and modify those files to set the correct $WM_ARCH and $JAVA_HOME:

~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.cshrc
~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/.OpenFOAM-1.2/cshrc

But the same error message occur when I try a wmake.

Any ideas?
Thank's

François
