I have a working Opt build of OpenFOAM 19.12 on my WSL2 (Ubuntu 18.04). I tried compiling a version with the debug switch on and I get the following error message during the build:

expressions/exprResult/exprResultGlobals.C:206:58: error: ‘const class Foam::HashTable<Foam::expressions::exprResultGlobals::Table>’ has no member named ‘sortToc’; did you mean ‘sortedToc’?
                 << "Known global scopes: " << variables_.sortToc() << nl;
                                                          ^~~~~~~

make: *** [/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1912/build/linux64Gcc63DPInt32Debug/src/OpenFOAM/expressions/exprResult/exprResultGlobals.o] Error 1

Anyone with a similar issue/ known bug?

[anikm]

Have you found any solution? I am also stuck at this problem

[prartcor]

same problem here.
does anyone know what the solution is?

[anikm]

No, I have not found anything yet. Kindly share if you find any solution

[stamufa]

Solved it! Just change sortToc to sortedToc in the file where the problem arises. I have root access to my OpenFOAM installation so this worked. You could try a local compile on your home folder if you have the source code and no write access on /opt

[anikm]

Can you kindly elaborate? I cannot find /OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1912/build/linux64Gcc63DPInt32Debug/src/OpenFOAM/expressions/exprResult/exprResultGlobal.C where I am supposed to make the changes?


Or am I reading this wrong? Where should I make this change? I will be really grateful if you can help

[stamufa]

No - you need to find where sortToc is in the source code. Navigate to $FOAM_SRC and grep -r "sortToc". There should be one file in the result, change it there

[anikm]

Thanks a lot Mustafa, I was looking in the wrong location. After changing the sortToc to sortedToc, it works fine

[anikm]

After solving the previous error, Now I am stuck with a new build error which I am pasting here. This occur both in Debug and Opt mode. However, in Opt mode it does not give any trouble.


In Debug mode after compiling when I tried to test "blockMesh", it said blockMesh command is unknown.

Can you kindly help me?

[stamufa]

Yes, I can — but you‘ll have to start actually reading the error messages instead of just posting them here

It says there that the command m4 wasn’t found. You just need to do a sudo apt-install m4 to get rid of that

[anikm]

Thank you very much. I actually read it and understood that something related to m4 is the issue. But I did not know that i can do sudo apt install.



Will be more careful next time
