OpenFOAM Third-Party packages

#

Description

Scripts for building third-party packages.

Build Order:

  • makeGcc (recommended if the system gcc is < 4.7)
  • Allwmake (Builds OpenMPI, Scotch etc.)
  • makeCmake (if the system cmake version is < 2.8.8)
  • makeParaView

Optional Build Components:

  • makeLLVM (Replaces makeGcc in the above description
  • to use clang as compiler)
  • makeCCMIO (Only required for conversion of STAR-CCM+ meshes)
  • Allclean (Only required to save disk space)

Versions and locations to download the third party packages

Gcc C++ Compiler

The minimum version of gcc required is 4.5.0

  • gcc http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html
  • gmp http://gmplib.org/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-6.1.0.tar.bz2
  • mpfr http://www.mpfr.org/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpfr/mpfr-3.1.4.tar.bz2
  • mpc http://www.multiprecision.org/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpc/mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz

Parallel Processing

Scotch
  • Scotch/PtScotch: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/file/34099/scotch_6.0.3.tar.gz
OpenMPI
  • OpenMPI: http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.10/downloads/openmpi-1.10.2.tar.bz2

but may need patching to compile (See Notes).

Notes

Building ParaView-4.3.1/4.4.0/5.0.0/5.0.1

The ParaView-4.3.1/4.4.0/5.0.0 source-pack provided by KitWare will not build and install correctly without a minor correction: lines 653-656 (650-653 in ParaView-5.0.0, 659-662 in ParaView-5.0.1) must be removed or commented from file ThirdParty-???/ParaView-[45].?.?/Qt/Components/CMakeLists.txt after unpacking and renaming the ParaView-[45].?.? directory. This is because the file ui_pqExportStateWizard.h referred to in

if(PARAVIEW_INSTALL_DEVELOPMENT_FILES)
  install(FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/ui_pqExportStateWizard.h"
          DESTINATION "${VTK_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIR}")
endif()

does not exist and cannot be installed causing the build and installation to fail.

Additionally for ParaView-4.4.0 there is a bug in the STL reader. (see http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1887).

For ParaView-4.4.0 and ParaView-5.0.1, the necessary patches are supplied with the ThirdParty repository (see the etc/patches directory) and are applied when building paraview.

Building ParaView-5.0.1 with gcc-6.1.0

Add support for gcc-6.?.?

The following cmake files

  • ParaView-5.0.1/VTK/CMake/vtkCompilerExtras.cmake
  • ParaView-5.0.1/VTK/CMake/GenerateExportHeader.cmake

specifically limit the gcc versions supported. To add support gcc-6.?.? replace the ‘[345]’ with ‘[3456]’.

This patch is also supplied with the ThirdParty repository and applied when building paraview.

SciberQuestToolKit

The SciberQuestToolKit plugin fails to compile with gcc-6.1.0 and causes the compilation of ParaView to halt. The easiest solution is to delete the ParaView-5.0.1/Plugins/SciberQuestToolKit directory.

Building ParaView-4.1.0

On Ubuntu 14.10 and higher, OpenSuSE 13.2 and probably other recent GNU/Linux distributions there is an issue in the GL libraries requiring a change to the vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx file in ParaView: Uncomment line 30

#define GLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY
