OpenFOAM-dev Third-Party packages

1 Description

Scripts for building third-party packages.

2 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

2.1 Optional

AllwmakeLibccmio (Only required for conversion of STAR-CCM+ meshes)
Allclean (Only required to save disk space)

3 Versions and locations to download the third party packages

3.1 Gcc C++ Compiler

The minimum version of gcc required is 4.5.0

3.2 Parallel Processing

3.2.1 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

3.2.2 OpenMPI

OpenMPI: http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.10/downloads/openmpi-1.10.2.tar.bz2

3.3 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-4.4.0 http://www.paraview.org/files/v4.4/ParaView-v4.4.0-source.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 4).

3.4 CGAL

3.5 Miscellaneous

libccmio http://portal.nersc.gov/svn/visit/trunk/third_party/libccmio-2.6.1.tar.gz

4 Notes

4.1 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-¹.?.?/Qt/Components/CMakeLists.txt after unpacking and renaming the ParaView-¹.?.? 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

4.2 Building ParaView-5.0.1 with gcc-6.1.0

4.2.1 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 '²' with '³'

4.2.2 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.

4.3 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
