Hi Alexey,

I managed to fix the SigFpe error, but now I get multiple other errors. So I decided it is best to build the debug version of OF. So far, I could not find a clear instruction how to do it so I did following to get started and try:

I changed the line

export WM_COMPILE_OPTION=Opt

to

export WM_COMPILE_OPTION=Debug

in my /opt/openfoam230/etc/bashrc file as I read this in some thread. I then tried to recompile everything with:

cd /opt/openfoam230/
./Allwmake

But it complained:

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

Then I changed the .bashrc file in the folder where a copy of OpenFOAM was created during installation same as before with the original bashrc file and tried to run Allwmake again:

julian@julian-ubuntu:~/OpenFOAM/julian-2.3.0$ cd /home/julian/workspace/OpenFOAMjulian@julian-ubuntu:~/workspace/OpenFOAM$ ./Allwmake
Error: Current directory is not /opt/openfoam230
Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
    The environment variables are inconsistent with the installation.
    Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

I then tried to put the OpenFOAM copy in different folders but I just don't get it. I don't know how this really works as I just followed the instructions to install OpenFOAM but never got what really happens.

Maybe you know about a page where I can read through some instructions how to install OF in debugging mode?

Thanks,
Julian

Hi,

I don't know, maybe there're binary packages with debug version for Ubuntu. If not, you can follow guide on building OpenFOAM from sources: http://openfoam.org/download/source.php.

Here's one of the ways:

0. Install build dependencies (see guide)
1. cd $HOME
2. mkdir OpenFOAM-dbg
3. cd OpenFOAM-dbg
4. wget -c http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foa...FOAM-2.3.0.tgz
5. tar xzf OpenFOAM-2.3.0.tgz
6. rm OpenFOAM-2.3.0.tgz (or you can keep archive if you like)
7. cd OpenFOAM-2.3.0
8. vi etc/bashrc
9. Change export WM_PROJECT=OpenFOAM to export WM_PROJECT=OpenFOAM-dbg
10. Change export WM_COMPILE_OPTION=Opt to export WM_COMPILE_OPTION=Debug
11. Exit vim
12. source etc/bashrc WM_NCOMPPROCS=4 (adjust number of processes suitable for your desktop)
13. ./Allwmake > log.Allwmake 2>&1
14. Wait

Thank you very much for your time!
