Dear FOAMERS,

I posted this on the cfd forum and was told to file a bug here, so I will give you some background:

I am attemping to build up openfoam v1912 and I ran into a hitch.

I was following this website

I wget both the openfoam and thirparty archives and then extracted it into my /opt/OpenFOAM directory.

I then edited bashrc to point to this directory.

When I source the bashrc I get this error:

'root@localhost:/opt/OpenFoam/OpenFOAM-v1912# source etc/bashrc
[localhost:08533] opal_ifinit: ioctl(SIOCGIFHWADDR) failed with errno=13
No completion added for /opt/OpenFoam/OpenFOAM-v1912/platforms/linuxARM64ArmDPInt64Opt/bin
... incorrect platform, or not yet compiled?
root@localhost:/opt/OpenFoam/OpenFOAM-v1912#'

I went back into bashrc and changed these lines:

'#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configuration environment variables.
# Override with <prefs.sh> instead of editing here.

Then i proceed to run foamsyscheck:

'root@localhost:/opt/OpenFoam/OpenFOAM-v1912# foamSystemCheck

Checking basic system...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shell:           
ERROR: Cannot identify the current shell.

==================
Your system is not currently compatible with OpenFOAM installation 
requirements. Review the error messages and consult the documentation
for further instructions.

I looked around and some people have said system check is stringent so i just went ahead with Allmake:

'root@localhost:/opt/OpenFoam/OpenFOAM-v1912# ./Allwmake -j -s -l
Logging wmake -all output to 'log.linuxARM64ArmDPInt64Opt'

So based on that It seems like compiler type and clang is missing. Idk where I can find out which compiler I need for arm64 and which clang to choose. Anyone built openfoam on arm64 that knows the flags i need and where to specify?

Thanks!
