Hi guys,

I am having a small problem compiling some changes using wmake libso for the C file,

/src/OpenFOAM/fields/pointPatchFields/pointPatchFild/pointPatchField.C

The problem is that once I run wmake and compile the library, I get the message "warning: Source file is more recent than executable when running through my solver ". What I'm confused about is that if I make changes to the file, say put in a broken line, the compiler will send back an error, so I feel like the script is being compiled, but the library is not updated?

I had a look at the make file that is being run, and it does not include pointPatchField.C. I tried placeing it into the make files, but that causes another error, stating that the member functions are already defined. So I am guessing a different make file or something is using pointPatchField.C?. But I dont really know how to find this or whats going on.

If anyone could could give me a hand with this that would be fantastic

Cheers

Hi,

do you execute wmake libso while being in the folder

OpenFOAM-2.3.1/src/OpenFOAM/

?

Cause that works for me after changing pointPatchField.C (for 2.3.1)

It's true that OpenFOAM-2.3.1/src/OpenFOAM/Make/files does not contain the file name, but its linked in OpenFOAM-2.3.1/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude.

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply sorry for the delay I had some experiment issues. Yup so I was running it in the file path of pointPatchField.C initially, I just tried at /src/OpenFOAM/ and but its still has the same problem. I can make changes to the script that I think are getting compiled (Im guessing this as if I put in broken lines the compiler sends back errors) but when I actually run the code, and step through it with GDB I get the message "warning: Source file is more recent than executable" and it dosnt print out any of the Info statements I have put in.

Did you find that your modifications where actually getting included when you run the changes in an application (such as InterDyMFoam).

Thanks for the help.

sorry, didn't try (and dont have time) to run it, I thought completed compilation would be enough.

I checked my $(FOAM_LIBBIN)/libOpenFOAM (= OpenFOAM-2.3.1/platforms/linux64IccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so ) and it wasn't updated, either. good luck..

Thats all good thanks, bumping in case anyone else can shed some light on this, I will update if I can figure it out

Cheers
