1. INTRODUCTION
===============
It is strongly recommended to install all required systems tools and utilities
in a directory with no embedded white spaces. You can skip some steps if you
already have some of these system tools.
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILDING ON WINDOWS
=======================================
1) Download and install 7-Zip (see reference list below). This is necessary to
be able to unzip the rest of the required packages mentioned in later steps.
2) Download and install wget, CMake, Git, MinGW-w64, ParaView and PExports (see
reference list below). Note that some components (example PExports and GMake)
may already be available in other packages (such as Strawberry Perl), although
you need to be careful of the version numbers.

3) Download and install MSYS (see reference list below). If this is your first
use of MSYS, create a file fstab in cMinGW/1.0/etc with single-line contents:
c/mingw /mingw
to mount your home directory. From Windows, you will find your home directory
under c:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/<user name>
2015-08-05 11:57:56 +00:00
4) Download the foam-extend source code from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam-extend/
5) Open a new MSYS shell and chdir to your foam-extend-3.1 source directory.
6) Edit the user-modifiable entries in etc/bashrc.mingw to point to the
locations where you have installed the required system tools in the first two
steps (the first two functions only in bashrc.mingw). The order in which they
are added to the PATH (in the add_to_path function) is very important. The
PATH is read from left to right, so ensure OpenMPI and MinGW compiler are
prepended last to the PATH, so they are found first.
7) Source the file edited in the previous step using the command:
. etc/bashrc.mingw
(notice the dot "." command to source a file). This action sources other
files as required, and also performs a check on the versions of the installed
system tools. An example output is shown at the end of this file.
8) If "mpirun.exe" failed to run due to a missing DLL (eg. msvcr100.dll), you
may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (see
reference list below).
9) If the version checks were all successful and printed the expected version
details, proceed with compiling the code. Run "Allwmake.mingw". This will
download and build all required third-party dependencies, build the entire
foam-extend code, and also create a stand-alone .zip package.
10) After the build has completed, you can run foam in either of two ways:
(a). From the MSYS shell. This allows use of the utility programs and shell
scripts in the bin directory (such as paraFoam). This is the recommended
approach for developers.
(b). From a standard Windows CMD.exe command prompt using the created
foam-extend-3.1-win-x64.zip stand-alone package. This can be used on any
Windows machine without access to MSYS shells or compilers. See the README.txt
contained within the package for further details.

Only the "mingw-developer-toolkit" and "msys-base" is required, DO NOT download ming32-* compiler packages (we use MinGW-w64 instead).
Assuming you installed this to the default /c/MinGW directory, you will need to "cp -p make.exe gmake.exe" in /c/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin (unless have Strawberry Perl).
