***Note***
|
|
|
|
OpenFOAM requires a [case sensitive file system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_sensitivity) to build.
|
|
|
|
If you attempt to build OpenFOAM from a location _outside_ of the
|
|
|
|
WSL/WSL2 partition (for example a mounted drive, `/mnt/c/Users/some/path`)
|
|
|
|
this will cause issues. To avoid such problems, there are two possible solutions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Build OpenFOAM within the [WSL/WSL2][link wsl] partition.
|
|
|
|
This partition is case sensitive.
|
|
|
|
- *or* Create a [case sensitive folder][windows-case-sensitive] within the
|
|
|
|
Windows Partition and build OpenFOAM there.
|
|
|
|
The procedure for this approach is outlined below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new folder within Windows (eg, `../Documents/OpenFOAM`).
|
|
|
|
***Folder must be empty to perform the next step!***
|
|
|
|
2. Enable case sensitivity for this folder using the `fsutil.exe` utility.
|
|
|
|
This is accomplished by running the command `fsutil.exe file setCaseSensitiveInfo <path/to/folder> enable`
|
|
|
|
in PowerShell (see [case sensitivity for Windows][windows-case-sensitive])
|
|
|
|
3. From inside the [WSL/WSL2][link wsl] environment/terminal,
|
|
|
|
unpack the OpenFOAM-vXXXX.tgz/ThirdParty-vXXXX.tgz files
|
|
|
|
or clone the repositories within this folder. Build OpenFOAM.
