Hi OpenFOAMers,

Who know how to compile OF-1.5 in the debug mode?

In OF-1.3, If I want a debug version of OpenFOAM, I just need to change the lines in $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/.OpenFOAM-1.3/bashrc from

=============================
export WM_COMPILE_OPTION=Opt
# export WM_COMPILE_OPTION=Debug
# export WM_COMPILE_OPTION=Prof

to

# export WM_COMPILE_OPTION=Opt
exportWM_COMPILE_OPTION=Debug
# export WM_COMPILE_OPTION=Prof

=========================

However, how can still make it work in OF-1.5? In addition, what is its step by step procedures to debug the original codes under the debug version of OF-1.5?

Thanks
Sandy

vi ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/etc/bashrc

# WM_COMPILE_OPTION = Opt | Debug | Prof
: ${WM_COMPILE_OPTION:=Debug}; export WM_COMPILE_OPTION

Hi sir, thank you a lot for your note. However, I remembered that I ever tried it but not work. Could you further tell me, after finish above setting, what is next step I should do step by step? Please don't mind, I just begin to study them.

Sandy,

Edit the bashrc file, then log out and log back in in order to reset the $WM_COMPILE_OPTION environment variable. Then navigate to the $FOAM_INST_DIR/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/ and run ./Allwmake
This will compile debug versions of the libraries and place them in the lib/linux64GccDPDebug/ directory.

Thank you very much, sir . I will try it step by step.
