Hi,

I am a new OPENFOAM user, I am currently using OPENFOAM for Windows 20.09 and I get this error when running blockMesh.

I would like to know if you know of any solution. I saw in another post that it can be solved by reinstalling make, but how do I do that in Windows?

Thanks in advance for your reply
