# If you need to compile swak4Foam, it is a good idea to install Mercurial (hg)
# and Subversion (svn)
# sudo apt-get install mercurial
# sudo apt-get install subversion

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Minor correction for make/gmake
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Download OpenFOAM-1.6-ext
mkdir ~/OpenFOAM
cd ~/OpenFOAM
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Create the file etc/prefs.sh
cp ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/prefs.sh-EXAMPLE ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/prefs.sh

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Use the system compiler
sed -i s/"compilerInstall=System"/"compilerInstall=System\nWM_COMPILER=Gcc46"/g ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/prefs.sh

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Use the version of OpenMPI supplied with the ThirdParty packages
# The version of OpenMPI supplied by Ubuntu 12.10 is 1.4.5, which is outdated
# So nothing to do here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# About QT4
#
# Ubuntu 12.10 comes with QT4 version 4.8.3
# Even thoug ParaView will compile with this version of QT, ParaView will also generate a bunch of
# warnings on the console at runtime. So we will be using the version of QT4 supplied with the
# ThirdParty packages.

#Uncomment the variable QT_THIRD_PARTY in the file prefs.sh

sed -i s/"#export QT_THIRD_PARTY=1"/"export QT_THIRD_PARTY=1"/g ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/prefs.sh

# This section of the prefs.sh file should now look like this:

export QT_THIRD_PARTY=1
#export QT_DIR=/usr
#export QT_BIN_DIR=$QT_DIR/bin

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# About Paraview
#
# After a lot of trials, I just cannot find a way to make the OpenFOAM-1.6-ext reader
# work under Ubuntu 12 and ParaView-3.x.
#
# So use the command 'paraFoam -nativeReader' instead in order to start ParaView with the
# OpenFOAM built-in native reader.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Source your OpenFOAM environment to get the basic configuration for
# compilation
. ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Compile the ThirdParty packages
cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR/ThirdParty
./AllMake.stage1 >& log.AllMake.stage1
./AllMake.stage2 >& log.AllMake.stage2
./AllMake.stage3 >& log.AllMake.stage3
./AllMake.stage4 >& log.AllMake.stage4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Update your OpenFOAM environment to get the basic configuration from the newly
# compiled ThirdParty packages
. ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc

# Compile OpenFOAM-1.6-ext
cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
./Allwmake >& log.Allwmake &
tail -f log.Allwmake          # To keep an eye on the compilation process

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Run a tutorial to check the basic functionality
cd $FOAM_TUTORIAL/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily
blockMesh >& log.blockMesh
simpleFoam >& log.simpleFoam
paraFoam -nativeReader

# You are done!
