- generalize some of the library extensions (.so vs .dylib).
Provide as wmake 'sysFunctions'
- added note about unsupported/incomplete system support
- centralize detection of ThirdParty packages into wmake/ subdirectory
by providing a series of scripts in the spirit of GNU autoconfig.
For example,
have_boost, have_readline, have_scotch, ...
Each of the `have_<package>` scripts will generally provide the
following type of functions:
have_<package> # detection
no_<package> # reset
echo_<package> # echoing
and the following type of variables:
HAVE_<package> # unset or 'true'
<package>_ARCH_PATH # root for <package>
<package>_INC_DIR # include directory for <package>
<package>_LIB_DIR # library directory for <package>
This simplifies the calling scripts:
if have_metis
then
wmake metisDecomp
fi
As well as reducing clutter in the corresponding Make/options:
EXE_INC = \
-I$(METIS_INC_DIR) \
-I../decompositionMethods/lnInclude
LIB_LIBS = \
-L$(METIS_LIB_DIR) -lmetis
Any additional modifications (platform-specific or for an external build
system) can now be made centrally.
- a partial selection from https://github.com/mrklein/openfoam-os-x
with adjustments. The primary purpose is to reduce header-level
incompatibilities and to provide a common set of make rules to allow
easier patching (or re-integration).
- export library path for gmp/mpfr from CGAL config files.
This is required when non-system gmp/mpfr libraries are being
used, but not using a ThirdParty compiler installation.
- automatically handle lib/ vs lib64/ (eg, for central installations)
for packages such as boost, CGAL, etc. While the ThirdParty
compilation of these will normally land in lib64/, this may not be
the case when they are supplied by another means.
- reworked the handling of foamEtcFile and foamCleanPath for less
clutter in the configuration files.
Added the bin/tools/lib-dir script to handle logic that is
too complex to easily manage in csh.
- required if there is no system openmp and libomp or libgomp are
only found in the clang hierarchy
STYLE: add some notes in the openmp rules.
- the _OPENMP macro is now used in low-level testing files
- relocate WM_COMPILER_ARCH, WM_COMPILER_LIB_ARCH from
etc/{bashrc,cshrc} to etc/config.{csh,sh}/settings since these
should not be changed by the user anyhow.
- Use gcc/g++ as common base and specialize afterwards (to reduce
duplication)
- adjust format of WM_PROJECT_SITE fallback to allow for easier
automated edits
- this implies that jobControl is a user-resource for OpenFOAM.
It was previously located under $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/jobControl,
but few users will have write access there.
- an unset FOAM_JOB_DIR variable is treated as "~/.OpenFOAM/jobControl",
which can partially reduce environment clutter.
- provide argList::noJobInfo() to conveniently suppress job-info on an
individual basis for short-running utilities (eg, foamListTimes) to
avoid unneeded clutter.
- handle sourcing bashrc with a relative path (issue #383)
- handle sourcing from bash and zsh.
Still need manual intervention when sourcing dash, sh, or ksh.
- replace grep in etc/cshrc with sed only
- logical instead of physical path for WM_PROJECT_DIR (issue #431).
Doesn't seem to be possible for csh/tcsh.
* Continue using physical locations when comparing directories,
but not for the top-level FOAM_INST_DIR, WM_PROJECT_DIR.
- relocate WM_CC, WM_CXX overrides from etc/config.*/compiler
to etc/config.*/settings to ensure that they are left untouched
when etc/config.sh/compiler is sourced while making third-party
packages (eg, gcc, llvm, CGAL).
- provide fallback FOAM_TUTORIALS setting in RunFunctions
STYLE: remove "~OpenFOAM" fallback as being too rare, non-obvious
Can now use this:
_foamSourceEtc config.sh/scotch
_foamSourceEtc config.csh/scotch
instead of this:
_foamSource $($WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/foamEtcFile config.sh/scotch)
_foamSource `$WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/foamEtcFile config.csh/scotch`
In the bash/sh version, leave the _foamSource function for now, since
ThirdParty is still relying on it.
STYLE: elminate while-loop for _foamAddPath etc since this type of
construct isn't readily possible for csh and isn't being used anywhere.
- export/setenv WM_COMPILER_TYPE as suggested by Mattijs.
- for overall consistency, don't carp about an unset WM_COMPILER_TYPE,
since this would only be on the first instance (prior to the
export/setenv) and would be confusing about why/when this message
may occur.
- reduce clutter: only use (system|ThirdParty) for WM_COMPILER_TYPE.
Drop the old 'OpenFOAM' setting for WM_COMPILER_TYPE, which was
transitional in early 2011.
- make the error messages more meaningful
The change from C++0x to C++11 allows all of C++11 functionality to be
used in OpenFOAM, in particular constructor delegation which avoids code
duplication or constructor helper functions. However, this also means a
change to the minimum gcc version supported which is now 4.7 rather than
4.5.
Note that gcc-4.7 does not support the entire C++11 standard but does
support all of the functionality currently needed for further OpenFOAM
development. The minimum gcc-version which supports the entire C++11
standard is 4.8 which is now the recommended minimum gcc version.
- move unset mpi buffer size from config.csh/settings -> config.csh/mpi
- wmUNSET now also unalias wmREFRESH
Note: unsetenv WM_COMPILER_TYPE in csh variant?
- drop reference to paraview-3 in config files.
Cannot say anything definite about support for versions
this old (2012)
- not previously possible to configure a third-party gcc
with system gmp/mpfr/mpc.
This makes it easier to switch between compilers for testing.
- use system libraries by default
etc/config.sh and etc/config.csh
This structure is more convenient to add support for other shells, e.g. zsh, fish etc.
Resolves feature request to simplify support for other shells in
