1) Download files

Get all files from the sources directory on the web site and put them into the linuxSrc directory

2) Unpack OpenFOAM and set up the dot-files

cd ~/OpenFOAM
tar xzf linuxSrc/OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev_22_11_05.tgz
cp -r OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev/.OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev ~

set up dot files:

put:

source ~/.OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev/cshrc

into your .cshrc file.  If you are using bash, add

. ~/.OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev/bashrc

into ~/.bashrc

Do:

source ~/.cshrc

For bash users, do

. ~/.bashrc

instead.


3) Build utilities

3.1) gcc
tar xzf gcc-4.2.2.tgz
mkdir gcc-4.2.2-obj
cd gcc-4.2.2-obj

../gcc-4.2.2/configure --prefix=/usr/tmp/gcc-4.2.2 --exec-prefix=/usr/tmp/gcc-4.2.2 --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared

gmake bootstrap
gmake
gmake install

cd /usr/tmp/
tar cvzf ~/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-4.2.2.bin.tgz gcc-4.2.2
cd ~/OpenFOAM/linux
tar xzf gcc-4.2.2.bin.tgz

3.2) gdb

cd ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc
tar xzf gdb-6.4.tar.gz
cd gdb-6.4
./configure --prefix=~/OpenFOAM/linux/gdb-6.4
gmake
gmake install

3.3 cmake

cd ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc
tar xzf cmake-2.4.7.tar.gz
cd cmake-2.4.7
./configure --prefix=~/OpenFOAM/linux/cmake-2.4.7
gmake
gmake install

3.4 dx
cd ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc
tar xzf dx-4.4.4.tgz
cd dx-4.4.4
./configure --prefix=~/OpenFOAM/linux/dx-4.4.4 --enable-shared
gmake
gmake install

3.5 paraview
cd ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc
tar xvzf paraview-2.4.4.tgz
mkdir paraview-2.4.4-obj
cmake -i ../paraview-2.4.4

Change options:

enable shared library: YES
prefix: ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.4

gmake
gmake install


cd ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc

mkdir ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.4/include
cp ./paraview-2.4.4/VTK/Common/vtk* ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.4/include/
cp ./paraview-2.4.4/VTK/Filtering/vtk* ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.4/include/
cp ./paraview-2.4.4-obj/VTK/vtk* ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.4/include/
cp ./paraview-2.4.4-obj/ParaViewConfig.cmake ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.4/lib/paraview-2.4/

linux64 copy commands

mkdir ~/OpenFOAM/linux64/paraview-2.4.4/include
cp ./paraview-2.4.4/VTK/Common/vtk* ~/OpenFOAM/linux64/paraview-2.4.4/include/
cp ./paraview-2.4.4/VTK/Filtering/vtk* ~/OpenFOAM/linux64/paraview-2.4.4/include/
cp ./paraview-2.4.4-obj/VTK/vtk* ~/OpenFOAM/linux64/paraview-2.4.4/include/
cp ./paraview-2.4.4-obj/ParaViewConfig.cmake ~/OpenFOAM/linux64/paraview-2.4.4/lib/paraview-2.4/


4) build OpenFOAM

foam
(this should take you to the ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev directory)

./Allwmake

This will build foam.

5) check build

source ~/.cshrc
icoFoam

(this should run and report something like)

wooster*101-> icoFoam
