OpenFOAM-dev third-party library compilation scripts

OpenFOAM-dev Third-Party packages

#

Description

Scripts for building third-party packages.

Order of execution:

• 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

• AllwmakeLibccmio (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-5.1.2.tar.bz2
• mpfr http://www.mpfr.org/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpfr/mpfr-3.1.2.tar.bz2
• mpc http://www.multiprecision.org/ http://www.multiprecision.org/mpc/download/mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz

Parallel Processing

Scotch

Scotch-6.0.3 is provided with ThirdParty-dev or the original source pack may be obtained from:

• 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

ParaView

ParaView-5.0.1 patched to compile and install correctly is provided with ThirdParty-dev but older versions can be downloaded from www.paraview.org:

• cmake http://www.cmake.org/files/v3.2/cmake-3.2.1.tar.gz

• ParaView-5.0.1 http://www.paraview.org/files/v5.0/ParaView-v5.0.1-source.tar.gz

but may need patching to compile (See Notes).

CGAL

• CGAL https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/releases/download/releases%2FCGAL-4.8/CGAL-4.8.tar.xz
• boost http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.55.0/boost_1_55_0.tar.bz2/download

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-dev/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 which can be patched by running the following command from within the ThirdParty-??? directory:

• wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kitware/VTK/40937e934308e5009e80769dc0c451ee4f157749/IO/Geometry/vtkSTLReader.cxx -O ParaView-4.4.0/VTK/IO/Geometry/vtkSTLReader.cxx

See also http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1887

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 ‘[345]’ with ‘[3456]’

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
