- was WM_PROJECT_API in the environment and FOAM_API in dictionaries.
Make these both consistently FOAM_API.
This is a non-breaking change, since the value of WM_PROJECT_API
(added in 1812) and/or FOAM_API is purely informative.
For the current correct values, always use
* foamEtcFile -show-api
* wmakeBuildInfo -show-api
- If using a non-clang compiler suite (gcc, intel, etc) the additional
lbraries required for mesa with llvm pipelines may not be found.
Provide a mesa_llvm configuration with in the 'vtk' config file.
Can use the usual types of settings
* mesa_llvm=llvm-4.0.1
* mesa_llvm=none
* mesa_llvm=system
- provide default WM_DIR if not already set, to improve robustness if a
reduced environment is used
- add etc/ to WM_PROJECT_SITE search. This makes the site directory
structure consistent with the OpenFOAM structure.
Eg,
WM_PROJECT_SITE/etc/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/bin/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/platforms/..
- Don't set/export WM_OSTYPE. The default is POSIX and is properly
defaulted throughout, including in CMakeLists-OpenFOAM.txt (also for
Catalyst)
- Use the OPENFOAM define (eg, 1806, 1812), which normally corresponds
to a major release, to define an API level. This remains consistent
within a release cycle and means that it is possible to manage
several sub-versions and continue to have a consistent lookup.
The current API value is updated automatically during the build
and cached as meta data for later use, even when the wmake/ directory
is missing or OpenFOAM has not yet be initialized.
The version information reported on program start or with -help
usage adjusted to reflect this. The build tag from git now also
carries the date as being more meaningful to trace than a hash
value.
- Update etc/bashrc and etc/cshrc to obtain the project directory
directly instead of via its prefix directory. The value obtained
corresponds to an absolute path, from which the prefix directory
can be obtained.
The combination of these changes removes the reliance on any
particular directory naming convention.
For example,
With an 1812 version (API level):
WM_PROJECT_VERSION=myVersion
installed as /some/path/somewhere/openfoam-mySandbox
This makes the -prefix, -foamInstall, -projectVersion, -version
values of foamEtcFiles, and similar entries for foamConfigurePaths
superfluous.
WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR is no longer required or used
ENH: improve handling and discovery of ThirdParty
- improve the flexibility and reusability of ThirdParty packs to cover
various standard use cases:
1. Unpacking initial release tar files with two parallel directories
- OpenFOAM-v1812/
- ThirdParty-v1812/
2. With an adjusted OpenFOAM directory name, for whatever reason
- OpenFOAM-v1812-myCustom/
- openfoam-1812-other-info/
3. Operating with/without ThirdParty directory
To handle these use cases, the following discovery is used.
Note PROJECT = the OpenFOAM directory `$WM_PROJECT_DIR`
PREFIX = the parent directory
VERSION = `$WM_PROJECT_VERSION`
API = `$WM_PROJECT_API`, as per `foamEtcFiles -show-api`
0. PROJECT/ThirdParty
- for single-directory installations
1. PREFIX/ThirdParty-VERSION
- this corresponds to the traditional approach
2. PREFIX/ThirdParty-vAPI
- allows for an updated value of VERSION (eg, v1812-myCustom)
without requiring a renamed ThirdParty. The API value
would still be '1812' and the original ThirdParty-v1812/
would be found.
3. PREFIX/ThirdParty-API
- this is the same as the previous example, but using an unadorned
API value. This also makes sense if the chosen version name also
uses the unadorned API value in its naming
(eg, 1812-patch190131, 1812.19W03)
4. PREFIX/ThirdParty-common
- permits maximum reuse for various versions, but only for
experienced user who are aware of potential version
incompatibilities
Directory existence is checked as is the presence of an Allwmake file
or a platforms/ directory. This reduces the potential of false positive
matches and limits the selection to directories that are either
with sources (has the Allwmake file), or pre-compiled binaries (has
the platforms/ directory).
If none of the explored directories are found to be suitable,
it reverts to using a PROJECT/ThirdParty dummy location since
this is within the project source tree and can be trusted to
have no negative side-effects.
ENH: add csh support to foamConfigurePaths
- this removes the previously experienced inconsistence in config file
contents.
REMOVED: foamExec
- was previously used when switching versions and before the
bashrc/cshrc discovery logic was added. It is now obsolete.
- was PREFIX/site, now PROJECT/site
This avoids several issues when installing OpenFOAM in clusters
without an intermediate OpenFOAM-specific installation prefix.
The 'site' directory may have a reserved meaning in these situations
and it is undesirable to 'leak' upwards into the parent directory to
look for configuration files.
Placing the default within the project directory avoids this.
Alternative locations can be given via the WM_PROJECT_SITE variable.
- removed reliance on ParaView_INCLUDE_DIR variable for conveying the
major.minor version information when compiling. This can be somewhat
fragile and also adds variable that is an unnecessary when running
(only used when compiling).
Instead use `have_pvplugin_support` function in paraviewFunctions
wmake script to determine the maj.min from the PV_PLUGIN_PATH
since we have already defined the output path there with paraview
maj.min numbering.
Can now build with paraview from the operating system,
provided that it has develop headers available.
ParaView_VERSION=system
In the etc/config.sh/paraview setup, the maj.min is taken from
the corresponding `paraview --version` output and used when
defining the PV_PLUGIN_PATH.
During the build, the include path taken from `paraview-config`
for a system installation, from the guess installation root
of the paraview binary, or ParaView_DIR otherwise.
NB: using a system ParaView for building runTimePostProcessing is unsupported.
- these types of builds appear to have various library resolution issues
(eg, libexpat not being loaded). Additionally, the build logic does
not yet cover this type of use case.
- FOAM_CONFIG_NOUSER
Suppress use of user/group configuration files.
This is useful when packaging for a central installation.
- allow additional user tuning of compiler settings.
Per-compiler overrides in "compiler-$WM_COMPILER" files
- since 1612, FOAM_INST_DIR and foamInstDir longer have any
special meanings when sourcing the bashrc or cshrc files.
Thus no need for special treatment in any of the dispatch wrappers.
Retained FOAM_INST_DIR as (unexported) variable in etc/bashrc,
just in case people are using patched versions of etc/bashrc
as part of their installation.
ENH: relax prefix restrictions on foamCreateVideo (issue #904)
- shift the implicit '.' to be part of the default prefix. This allows
things like "-image myimages_00" to work as might be expected.
- the current working path with replacements for base-level
OpenFOAM env variables such as FOAM_RUN, WM_PROJECT_DIR,
WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR etc
Can be used directly from the command-line or embedded into a
command prompt. For example,
PS1='$(foamPwd)\n\u\$ '
- aliases for user solver/utilities located under "$WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR":
(ufoam, uapp, usol, uutil)
- handling of dead links (find -L -delete unsupported)
- remove ignore case flag on 's/../../i' used in have_scotch script.
It is unneeded and not tolerated by Darwin's sed.
- avoid embedded comments in EXE_INC (Make/options files), which do
not work well with the OSX LLVM cpp.
It strips out the comments but also removes the continuation char.
STYLE: adjust notes about paraview library locations
- 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).
ParaView 5.4 and older:
- requires lib/paraview-X.X only
ParaView 5.5:
- requires lib/
- does not appear to require lib/paraview-X.X, but retained for simplicity
- Change default version to paraview-5.5.0 for testing purposes
- primary points for an external user are the polyMesh constructor
- add config info for gcc-7.3.0
COMP: intel-2017. Ignore unknown pragmas. Disambiguate method resolution.
- 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 provides a better typesafe means of locating predefined cell
models than relying on strings. The lookup is now ptr() or ref()
directly. The lookup functions behave like on-demand singletons when
loading "etc/cellModels".
Functionality is now located entirely in cellModel but a forwarding
version of cellModeller is provided for API (but not ABI) compatibility
with older existing user code.
STYLE: use constexpr for cellMatcher constants
- this reduces the number of functions and allows lazy loading of
completion options, which makes it easy to quickly add any other
OpenFOAM application in completion.
The generic '_of_complete_' function handles (bash) completion for
any OpenFOAM application. On the first call for any particular
application, it retrieves the available options from the application
help output and adds this information to its environmental cache for
subsequent use.
- Tcsh completion uses the same function via a bash wrapper.
But since its wrapper is transient, the on-the-fly generation would
be less efficient. For this case, a pre-generated completion_cache
can be used, which is generated with
bin/tools/foamCreateCompletionCache
- handles the case where we are currently completing something that
does not appear to be an option. For example,
foamDictionary -expanded someD[TAB]
should complete the filename, not present more options.
- currently no cleanup of completions when deactivating an OpenFOAM
tcsh environment
- tab completion with directories adds a space after the slash, which
makes navigation a bit annoying.
- add note in BuildIssues about the I_MPI_CC variable, which is needed
when building with Intel-MPI and gcc/clang.
This additional setting is needed since the changes needed to solve
the issue of building scotch with Intel-MPI and icc (issue #434)
means that mpiicc is now being used as the wrapper when compiling
scotch.
- have the FOAM_MPI short name for INTELMPI start with 'impi-' instead
of just the version number.
Intel-MPI is often installed as /opt/intel/impi/4.1.3.049, which
results in 'FOAM_MPI=4.1.3.049' and the mpi flavour is lost.
Prefix these cases with 'impi-'
- suppress error messages that appear with zsh.
According to unset(1p), 'unset -f' unsets a function.
If the function was not previously defined, this is a no-op.
This is similar for zsh, but there it emits a warning if the
function was not previously defined.
- avoid 'local' in functions sources from etc/bashrc.
ksh does not support this.
- use 'command' shell builtin instead of 'type'.
Seems to be more consistent between shell flavours.
- 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.
- permit SYSTEMMPI user adjustments via
etc/config.{csh,sh}/mpi-system
This can be a convenient place for setting up SYSTEMMPI for OpenFOAM
without adjusting bashrc, prefs.sh ...
- add a USERMPI type. This represents any generic mpi implementation.
The user is responsible for supplying an appropriate
wmake/rules/General/mplibUSERMPI file and managing all settings.
This type of setup can be useful in combination with specific build
systems (SPACK, EASYBUILD, etc) or module systems for which the MPI
variant is part of the installed configuration.
- lazier evaluation of project name and version based on the directory
name. Avoids heuristics based on directory names unless really needed.
- cope with alternative directory locations.
For example, OpenFOAM+VERSION etc.
The combination of the two above appears to be sufficient to open up
the directory naming possibilities.
- additional -list-test option (tests for existence of directory).
- 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.
- as per bashrc,cshrc delimit with
"# USER EDITABLE PART"
"# END OF (NORMAL) USER EDITABLE PART"
this can help simplify any patching for system-building scripts etc.
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH was not being cleaned at all when switching between
paraview versions.
- PATH was cleaned against the third-party paraview-*, although 3rd
party paraview is installed as ParaView-*.
The additional cleanup for ParaView_DIR may not catch this (if it
was unset elsewhere).
- wm32/wm64 were for changing between -m32, -m64 builds on x86_64
architectures. This is seldom enough not to warrant a special alias.
Also ambiguous if these could refer to label sizes.
- Remove wm32,wm64 aliases.
- Add wmInt32, wmInt64 aliases for switching WM_LABEL_SIZE.
STYLE: only use paraview settings when actually available
- this means executing makeParaView prior to building OpenFOAM itself,
but is consistent with the instructions given by makeParaView,
and elminates anticipating the source location from the paraview
config file, which increases the build flexibilty for ThirdParty
- support gperftools-none, gperftools-system configurations
as per other third-party packages.
STYLE: clean up more environment variables
CONFIG: testing adios rule
* boost 1_62_0 (Sept 2016)
* CGAL 4.9 (Sept 2016)
- now has headers-only mode that could be interesting
* FFTW 3.3.5 (Jul 2016)
* openmpi 1.10.4 (Sept 2016)
- the first openmpi 2.x release is also available, but too early to switch
* paraview 5.2.0 (Nov 2016)
- builds without additional patching
STYLE: removed unneeded CMake environment variables
