How dependency file is generated in OpenFOAM

kavi.saurabh · August 18, 2020, 07:22

Hi all.
I wanted to know, how OpenFoam selects the .C or .H files while generating dependency (.dep) for any source file.
I am asking this as i have added some .cpp files which i want to be in the dependency list in the same way as .H and .C files are added. I have just started working on OpenFOAM and very new to its code structure. It would be helpful if some info is available regarding this.

Thanks and Regards,

Often a file Make/files exists. The files Make/files and Make/options are used by wmake (a shell around make, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_(software) ) to manage the compilation.

Leave it to wmake to build dependency list.
Add as many .C files in Make/files (file name is EXE=) and all includes (EXE_INC) with library(EXE_LIBS) to be linked in Make/options.

I hope you are well aware of https://cfd.direct/openfoam/user-gui...-applications/
