Is there anything I have to consider for creating such an case-sensitive image in a case-insensitive system/environment or maybe any typical mistakes I could do working with such an image?

I guess I'll try to create a new image and start from the beginning again!?

Thanks for your help!!!

If the image is case-sensitve (and you tested that if I remember it correctly) and you untarred directly onto it all the files should be there. No additional requirements that I know of

Hi,

I just untarred the OF- and Thirdparty-file again on the case-sensitive image and now it seems that the files are complete (e.g. there is now a PointHit.H and a pointHit.H file!). So I patched everything again and copied the files bashrc and settings.sh, which I previously changed from the old directory in the new one and ran ./Allwmake.

At first it looked good and no errors (at least I didnt spot any) were shown until:

========================================
Done ThirdParty Allwmake
========================================

Afterwards there came up several warnings of this style:

IPread.C:67:51: warning: use of old-style cast

And later on there were a whole bunch of files which could not been opened:

could not open file polyPatch.H for source file db/regIOobject/regIOobject.C
could not open file labelPair.H for source file db/regIOobject/regIOobject.C
could not open file boundBox.H for source file db/regIOobject/regIOobject.C
could not open file pointZoneMesh.H for source file db/regIOobject/regIOobject.C
could not open file faceZoneMesh.H for source file db/regIOobject/regIOobject.C
could not open file cellZoneMesh.H for source file db/regIOobject/regIOobject.C

It keeps on going like this for quite a while!

It ends like this:

make: Target `application' not remade because of errors.

I checked if those missing files exist and they do!
Any idea what could have gone wrong?

I tried the foamInstallationTest and the result is this (maybe it helps to find the error!?)

I really don't know where the error might be or what it might cause! Do these quotes help anybody to find the problem?

Thanks very much for your support!

I try really hard to find any instruction on how to install OpenFOAM on mac, but despite my best intentions, I cannot find the right information.

Could anyone kindly post what steps are required to follow in order to have OpenFOAM-1.7 up and running on Mac Snow Leopard machine?

Thank you!

Thanks a lot, clear guide. However as I compile, it keeps going for about 15 minutes then it quits with following error

Trying to fix it, additionally, in OpenFOAM-1.7-Mac.patch I changed all the required entries to gcc-mp-4.5, but error still persists.

$FOAM_APPBIN is empty.

Any tips?

Thanks,
P

[chrisb]

I am not that great (yet) with the errors. I have two suggestions:

Try with another build of OpenFOAM:
To get the latest head from the git repo:
git reset
git pull $OF_GIT_ADDRESS
Then re-apply the patch

OR to get the 1.7.1 build
git reset
git checkout -b master version-1.7.1
Then re apply the patch.

Make sure your OF directory and Third party directory version names match i.e. 1.7.1 or 1.7.x.

Try with another compiler:
Perhaps try gcc4.4 or gcc4.3.

I hope someone else will be more helpful!

Cheers,
Chris Butler

Thanks a lot for a prompt reply!

The thing was, somehow the disk image did mount the right way and actually I used non-case dependent OpenFOAM/ folder which I created earlier. After mounting the partition in the right way compile process moved forward.

However, I still have one question. As the compile process ended it finished with the following output message:

make: Target `application' not remade because of errors.

I'm not sure how to interpret it. Any help in this matter?

Thanks,
P

[paka]

BTW. $FOAM_BINAPP points to:
/Users/user/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/applications/bin/darwinIntel64DPOpt

and the folder lists bunch of different apps, so at least in some part applications folder was created.

You'll have to look up a bit in the logfile (I recommend always compiling with './Allwmake 2>&1 | tee compile.log' as probably your terminal will be to short). Probably the tecplot-converter and the PV3Reader-plugin didn't get compiled (but the rest was)

[JanL]

Hi,

really really sorry to bother you guys but does anyone have an idea what might have been the problem while compiling OF, which I have tried to describe in my post from the 14.09. (7pm)? I'd extremely appreciate any help, as I don't have any clue!!!

PS: In the link which Chris uploaded I've seen the following command:

git clone git://github.com/OpenCFD/OpenFOAM-1.7.x.git

Is that necessary for OF to work? In that case it might be my problem, as I haven't done that so far! An is the command the same if you use OF-1.7.1?

Again: Thanks for your support!!!

Seems OK to me (foamInstallationTest finds icoFoam). The tecPlot-converter doesn't compile on Mac OS

No. Its just another way to get the sources. Either you do that or you use a tar of the release

[paka]

Jan,

Follow post from the Chris blog. It is simple and clear description of the whole installation process.

Bernard, thanks for the tip. Right now as much as I had time to test things distribution is up and running.

Best,
K

Greetings to all!

Hi Bernhard, I'm sorry I can't help you guys out more, but since I can't get access to a Mac, my hands are tied
Nonetheless, I know someone who probably has already fixed that issue with tecPlot: Richard Smith at Symscape has patches for OpenFOAM 1.7.x, for building it for both Windows (cross-compiling) and Mac (compiling) - http://www.symscape.com/openfoam-1-7...windows-64-mpi

edit: FreeFOAM should also have this issue solved, but it's a bit harder to adapt from it

Best regards,
Bruno

PS - FYI: I've studied these patches (at blueCAPE ) and created modified patches for cross-compiling OpenFOAM in Linux for Windows, but also including most of OpenFOAM's Third Party software, and also improving on top of Symscape's patches

Thanks for the hint, Bruno.

Only did a brief attempt to fix the tecplot-stuff but as I don't use TecPlot myself and nobody every complained I didn't spend too much time on it. I'll have a look at the patches

[paka]

Just going through OpenFOAM tutorials I noticed one of the solvers did not compile.

I tried to compile it separately and at the end all solvers as a whole, all is fine except interFoam (and Tecplot, but I don't need that one). Any tip regarding that?

Thanks!

[wyldckat]

Greetings Paka,

The inter*Foam solvers seem to be missing an option:

-linterfaceProperties

Edit the files Make/options in each solver's source code folder and add it to EXE_LIBS.

Best regards,
Bruno

[babak55]

Hi All,
Does anybody knows for running OpenFOAM 1.7 on MacBook it requires OS X snow leopard (10.6) or OS X tiger (10.4) also can be used?
thnx

[paka]

Bruno,

Strange, it is the original source code, shouldn't it be just fine to compile regardless of platform on which I run it?

I tried to add that option inside the source code, but the problem still persists. Please find present output in attached txt file.

Thank you,
K

PS. Answering Babak's question, OpenFOAM should run on any OS X operating system (including Tiger).

[paka]

Forgive me. This time I modified each of the Make/options file from each of the solvers. This time the solvers compiled, however, what makes me uncomfortable is the bit with "unused variable" as you can see in previously attached output file, log2.txt.

Thanks for your time and help!
K

[wyldckat]

Hi Paka,

Don't worry about that, it also happens in the Linux version. Those warnings are related to some variables that are defined in a general header file that is used by several solvers. I believe that some use them, others don't. And since the solvers with the warnings work without any problems, it's probably left in the low priority queue of "FIXME" list

Best regards,
Bruno
