Dear all,
I'm beginning OpenFOAM to solve a advection-diffusion-reaction equation. I started with the scalarTransportFoam solver and wanted to expand it. So I my due diligence and followed the steps in the tutorials to copy and start a new solver.
However, when I try to compile it (even without any change in the code) I have the following error message:



make: *** no rule to make target « Make/mingw_w64GccDPInt32Opt/my_scalarTransportFoam.C.dep », necessary for « Make/mingw_w64GccDPInt32Opt/my_scalarTransportFoam.o ». stop.


(translation from the french error message)



I have openfoam installed on windows through blueCFD.
Any idea of what's the issue ?


Thanks,

Flo

You geht this error when the path to the file .c is not correct

Just as mAlletto said:


1- The path to the source file (*.C) in Make/files (the first line is incorrect). You probably forgot to

mv scalarTransportFoam.C my_scalarTransportFoam.C

2- Depending on where you installed OpenFOAM, you may not have access to write binary files to the default path; you need to change Make/files to build the solver somewhere you can write to .


Your Make/files should spell out like this:

my_scalarTransportFoam.C


EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/my_scalarTransportFoam

I got the answer from another forum. The error was that I used lower case .c instead of .C
Thanks for the help,
