Hello,

I just installed OpenFOAM 2.3.0 on openSUSE 13.1.
The simulation of the tutorials went fine, however I cannot compile a solver (based on http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...ure_to_icoFoam from the openFOAM-Wiki).

If I try to compile the solver "myicoFoam", which only differs from "icoFoam" in the name, with "wmake", I get the following error-message:

If I use "sudo wmake" to compile, I get this error:

wmake error: environment variable $WM_OPTIONS not set

The environment variables in the .bashrc-File are set according to the instruction on: http://www.openfoam.org/download/suse.php

Is there anything I missed?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,

change line

EXE = $(FOAM_APPBIN)/myicoFoam

in Make/files file to

EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/myicoFoam

As in fact compilation is successful, you just don't have permissions to write executable into

/opt/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/

Thanks a lot.
That was the error.

why ı have to write this way ? EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/myicoFoam ?

not quite sure I've got the question right, but the answer is "by convention".
