Dear all,

i decided to try compiling OF 1.7 on a mac with bernards patches.
After setting the gcc-mp-4.5 compiler for compilation and executing the Allwmake there is the following error in the output:

According to the log i guess there is a library missing somewhere, but i don't know where.
Maybe someone of you can help me with this.

Thank You.

All the libraries are missing because they're not being built. Is this log from the first or the second time you tried the compilation. I'm asking because for instance after wmake libso OpenFOAMthere should be a whole bunch of compiler calls should be seen.

Could you check whether in $FOAM_SRC/OpenFOAM/Make/darwinBlaBla there is a number of .o-files? If yes, could you check with the file-command what they acctually are?

Have you sourced the . etc/bashrc before compiling?

Is your OF-installation on a case-sensitive filesystem?

Bernhard

[stonehope]

Hi Bernhard,

thank you for your quick support.

Yes, this log not from the first attemp to compile.

In the $FOAM_SRC/OpenFOAM/Make/darwinIntel64DPOpt - directory there are no files like *.o .
Should there be some of the .o-files?

Yes, i sourced the . etc/bashrc.

I'm using a script from the eth zurich, which is a bit modified from me, so that it is working with OF 1.7 to set the OF enviroment in the bash, could this cause such an error?
I supposed, that it is working, because all "shortcuts" like "tut", "run" etc are working well.

The filesystem is case sensitiv and created by using disk utility from mac OS.


Thank You very much.

Sorry. I have no experience with that ETH-Script. But the missing object-files are a strong indication that the compilation is not working. No idea why. No idea why he tries to link them to a library. Have a look at the generated dep-files whether they resemble what you know from a Linux-distro

Bernhard

I'm trying to install OpenFOAM 1.7 on a clean Macbook Pro. I've just moved from linux to os x so please be patient with me. I've first installed gcc4.5 from MacPorts. The first problem is with /etc/bashrc. After applying the patches it tries to create a file, or a folder, in OpenFOAM/lib/darwinIntelDPOpt, but the lib folder does not exist. I've created the folder and the subfolder darwinIntelDPOpt and the problem seems solved.
The next problem is when I try to compile with ./Allwmake.
I read a lot of messages "could not open file *.H for source file *.C". I've searched and it seems to me that the files exist.
Is there somebody able to help me with the installation?

Thank you
Mattia

[chrisb]

Hi Mattia,

I will try to answer as much as I can of your problems.

With respect to the 'could not open file' these messages will appear even when OpenFOAM does install on OS X.

As for needing to create that directory 'OpenFOAM/lib/darwinIntelDPOpt' my understanding is the install should do it for you! I would check that you are installing OF on a case-sensitive partition or disk image. If you are not the installation will fail.

If you need help please let me know.

Chris B.

[demichie]

Thank you Chris,
tonight the mac finished to compile the source for OpenFOAM with this message:

make: Traget 'application' not remade because of errors.

Nevertheless, I've tried to run blockMesh and icoFoam and it seems to me that they run.
Now I've to install paraview to see if it will work.
Regarding the directory, I've created a case-sensitive partition to install OpenFOAM, so probebly there is another problem.

Hi Mattia,
If you rerun Allwmake without deleting files you should be able to scroll through and find out what failed to build. Paraview may fail to build but foamToTecplot360 will fail. This is most likely the source of your error. If they are the only component which fail your build should be o.k.

The paraview binaries available from paraview.org should work fine (I would not bother trying to compile it). All that is will require is for you to create the .foam file in your case root directory.

Cheers

Hi All,

I am currently doing an install of OpenFOAM 1.7 on a dual processor (PPC) G5 running OS X 10.5.8.

A couple of questions ...


FIRST QUESTION - APPLYING THE PATCH

When I went to apply the OpenFOAM-1.7-Mac.patch the terminal replied ...

The next patch would create the file .gitignore,
which already exists! Assume -R? [n]

So I hit 'n', and the terminal replied ...

Apply anyway? [n]

... so I hit 'n' again and it produced ...........

Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file .gitignore.rej
patching file Allwmake.noThird
patching file applications/solvers/combustion/PDRFoam/Make/options
patching file applications/solvers/combustion/XiFoam/Make/options ...
<other "patching file" lines snipped from here - there were no other errors>

So everything else then seemed to patch just fine with the OpenFOAM-1.7-Mac.patch after the "1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file .gitignore.rej" message.

So my first question is, should I have hit 'n' when prompted or not ?

ThirdParty-1.7-Mac.patch applied without any issue.


SECOND QUESTION - etc/bashrc changes

The unpacked OpenFOAM source is at:

/Volumes/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0

http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...enFOAM_v16_Mac reads ...

5. adapt the hard-coded compiler (gcc-mp-4.3 and g+-mp-4.3) in etc/bashrc and wmake/rules/darwin* to fit your system

So I opened etc/bashrc and there is a section in there that reads ...

# Location of the OpenFOAM installation
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
foamInstall=$HOME/$WM_PROJECT
# foamInstall=~$WM_PROJECT
# foamInstall=/usr/local/$WM_PROJECT
# foamInstall=/opt/$WM_PROJECT

What value should the foamInstall variable be set to in those lines for OSX PPC install ?

I tried this ...

foamInstall=$/Volumes/OpenFOAM/$WM_PROJECT

but when I ran Allwmake, that produced ...

/Volumes/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/Allwmake ; exit;
$ /Volumes/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/Allwmake ; exit;
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variable are not consistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

Using ...

foamInstall=$HOME/$WM_PROJECT

... produced the same error.

Can anyone give me a pointer in terms of what lines in etc/bashrc I need to change and what values I need to change them to, to allow Allwmake to run without that error ?

- Thanks in advance !

I don't have experience with Macs, but that type of thing also can happen in Linux. The application patch detected that the desired changes were already made, so it asked if it should reverse the changes. Since you said "No", then there shouldn't be any problem

foamInstall=$/Volumes/OpenFOAM/$WM_PROJECT

You were so close... The $ is to be used for variables! Allow me to explain with an example: the shell will interpret the variable "$WM_PROJECT" and give out "OpenFOAM". So, you just need to remove that first $ you had and your own "OpenFOAM", i.e. make it like this:

foamInstall=/Volumes/$WM_PROJECT

And you should be good to go... at least as soon as you open a new terminal and/or source the "OpenFOAM-1.7.0/etc/bashrc" file

Additionally, you might want to change the line a bit below that one; change this one:

export WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR=$HOME/$WM_PROJECT/$USER-$WM_PROJECT_VERSION

To this:

export WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR=/Volumes/$WM_PROJECT/$USER-$WM_PROJECT_VERSION

This way your user folder for your OpenFOAM software and case runs will be in the same volume. To see what I mean, before running Allwmake, run this:

echo $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR

And since you are using a dual core machine, you might want to add this line to your bashrc file:

export WM_NCOMPPROCS=2

Oh, by the way, you might want to run Allwmake like so:

time ./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

This way you can keep it all logged in the file "make.log" and can later on check if something went wrong.

Good Luck!
Bruno

Hi AussieRacer,

I should have been more specific about this:

Originally Posted by http://www.openfoam.com/download/source.php#x4-15000

if running bash or ksh (if in doubt type echo $SHELL), source the etc/bashrc file by adding the following line to the end of your $HOME/.bashrc file:

• . $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/etc/bashrc

then type “. $HOME/.bashrc” in the current terminal window

The "source" procedure is usually this: "dot space path/to/script/to/be/sourced"

So, if you don't want to change your "$HOME/.bashrc" file, you can simply run this, every time you start a new terminal:

. /Volumes/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0/etc/bashrc

Notice the space before the first slash!

Now, so you can be certain that the variables are set, run this:

echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR

If it outputs "/Volumes/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0" then you should be good to go

Good luck!
Bruno

I get ...

--------
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variable are not consistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

Is there something wrong in my settings in bashrc ? Should I hardcode the value of WM_PROJECT_DIR by adding a line that hardcodes the value of WM_PROJECT_DIR ?

Can I add some lines of code to bashrc to output the values of the variables as it steps through the code to verify / debug the value of each variable to try to diagnose the problem ? If so what is the best way to do that ?

Thanks again in advance !

Just one question before we go further into this: have you looked at the Wiki for the requirements of this patch? I'm thinking about the case-sensitve file system (because that would explain that the script doesn'T find a correctly named directory). Try "touch foo" and "touch Foo" in your OF-directory. If you get two separate files everything is alright and the problem is something else. If you don't the build will never work in that directory

Hi gschaider,

Thanks for your post.

Yes I ran "touch foo" and "touch Foo" in the terminal and that created two separates files - one named "foo" and a second file named "Foo", so it looks like the volume is definitely case sensitive.

Thanks for your help.

Hi wyldcat,

Thanks again for your help - I really appreciate it.

Good luck!

Running ...

echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR

... returns ...

/Volumes/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.0

So it looks like that var $WM_PROJECT_DIR is correct.

Am attempting to install now.

Thanks again for everyone's help on this - it's fantastic to see this kind of community support with OpenFOAM.

Hi AussieRacer,

I still managed to pick up your unedited post
The issue you had posted was just a slight bug in Bernhard's patches, that only happens before the first build.
Just edit the file "$WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/apps/paraview3/bashrc", search for the lines that say:

        echo "Creating $PV_PLUGIN_PATH"
        mkdir $PV_PLUGIN_PATH

And change the second one to this:

mkdir -p $PV_PLUGIN_PATH

The "-p" option will tell mkdir to create the whole path, not just the end folder.

Best regards,
Bruno

Yes I edited my post after I noticed that an earlier post in the thread mentioned the same things I was asking about.

I have a build running right now in the background without the change made that you mention above.

Should I stop that build that is running right now, edit the file "$WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/apps/paraview3/bashrc" and restart the build, or just let the build run ?

When you say "that only happens before the first build", do you mean that the first build addresses that, or does the change need to be made to "$WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/apps/paraview3/bashrc" before the first build is attempted ?

Thanks again !

I should have been more explicit: there is no need to worry Just let it keep on building OpenFOAM. Because next time you "source" OpenFOAM's bashrc file (and/or open a new terminal), all will be well
