Hi guys,

@Ahmed:

please how to write the gcc-4.3.3 to the right place ?
and how to install it.

Please read the post, it is explained above.

when i do this command
$ export ~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/gcc-4.3.3/compile=~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6/gcc-4.3.3/platforms/linux/gcc-4.3.3

You don't need this. Are you trying to set the right environment variables? This is explained in this thread.


@Abdelhafidh:

I see that you are a professional in Linux and openfoam

Well, thank you, but I'm just a PhD student playing around with it a bit .

Have you followed the method higher up in this thread? That should do the trick.

thank you dear Gijsbert.

please can you explain the steps you done after downloading qt

[gwierink]

First, go to a convenient directory. In my case I make a directory containing all kinds of loose things, called "tmp" in my home dir). So, open up a terminal and

mkdir tmp && cd tmp

Now you're in your newly made tmp directory, get Qt-4.3.5

wget http://ftp3.ie.freebsd.org/pub/trolltech/pub/qt/source/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.5.tar.gz

Then, extract it

tar xzf qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.5.tar.gz

Go into the inflated qt directory

cd qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.5.tar.gz

and configure Qt for building by

./configure

Then, make Qt by

make

or

gmake

Finally, become root and actually install Qt

su

make install

or

gmake install

(you need to be root (su=superuser) to have write permission in /usr/, which is what you need when installing).

To get your system and OF find Qt, add its path to $HOME/.bashrc by

gedit $HOME/.bashrc

and add the lines

PATH=/home/gijsbert/tmp/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.5/bin:$PATH
export PATH

Save $HOME/.bashrc and source it by

. $HOME/.bashrc

(don't forget the dot (".") at the beginning).

Hope this helps you on your way .

[Ahmed Khattab]

thanks for you
after i did that i tried to install paraview

cd /home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6
./makeParaView

Error: cannot find qmake either at $QMAKE_PATH or in current $PATH

what can i do

[gwierink]

Hmm, ok, what do

which qmake

and

qmake --version

say?

PS Just to be sure, you did add the Qt path (as above in this thread), source command for OpenFOAM to $HOME/.bashrc and source the latter, right?

Hello
I am attempting to run OF on fedora 15 32 bits. I have built the sources as explained in the tutorial:
http://www.openfoam.com/download/source.php

but now, I have the same probleme as Rebel Ahmed, i.e:
when executing:

cd /home/ahmed/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.6
./makeParaView

the reply is:

Error: cannot find qmake either at $QMAKE_PATH or in current $PATH

Qt4 is already installed and up to date ...

my bash do not reconize the "qmake" command but there is a "qmake-qt4" command

I saw in the "makeParaView" file that I could change the qmake path but I am unable to locate it ...

If someone would help me ...

THX

M.

[MSAN]

I found the answer by my own:
in a terminal:

whereis qmake-qt4

answer:

/usr/bin/qmake-qt4

then I edited the makeParaView file and replaced

QMAKE_PATH=""

by

QMAKE_PATH="/usr/bin/qmake-qt4"

ran

./makeParaView

and that was ok ...


/!\ On Fedora it is VERY IMPORTANT to run this before building ParaView!!!
