Hi guys,
I already opened a post talking about my problems in setting a new BC to a patch, using refCast method; the post is located here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...m-refcast.html
I did some new steps further, but now I have troubles to compile the library.
As I explained in the previous post, I thought the possible solution to the problem of lack in identification of my new Boundary Condition also as a new type to be used by refCast method, could be in the macros written at the end of fvPatchField.H.
Therefore I tried to use these macros in some ways, taking inspiration by reading other already compiled BCs. I looked at calculatedFvPatchField as an example and I tried to reproduce same code arrangement; in 'calculated' folder I find the following headers:

calculatedFvPatchField.C
calculatedFvPatchField.H
calculatedFvPatchFields.C
calculatedFvPatchFields.H
calculatedFvPatchFieldsFwd.H

I did the same for my headers:

myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchScalarField.C
myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchScalarField.H
myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchScalarFields.C
myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchScalarFields.H
myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchScalarFieldsFwd.H

The content of the headers in which are called the macros are the following:

myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchScalarFields.C

namespace Foam
{

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Static Data Members * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

makePatchTypeField
(
    fvPatchScalarField,
    myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchScalarField
);

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

} // End namespace Foam

myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchScalarFields.H

#ifndef myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchFields_H
#define myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchFields_H

#include "myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchScalarField.H"
#include "fieldTypes.H"

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

namespace Foam
{

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

template<class Scalar> class myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchField;

makePatchTypeFieldTypedefs(myGradientEnthalpy);

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

} // End namespace Foam

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

#endif

myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchScalarFieldsFwd.H

#ifndef myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchFieldsFwd_H
#define myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchFieldsFwd_H

#include "fieldTypes.H"

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

namespace Foam
{

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

template<class Scalar> class myGradientEnthalpyFvPatchField;

makePatchTypeFieldTypedefs(myGradientEnthalpy);

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

} // End namespace Foam

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

#endif

The error that comes out after making an attempt to compile the library is as here attached:

I'm sure I didn't use in a proper way the macros supplied by openFoam.
Could someone tell me how to do it better?

Thank you all.
