1 Introduction

This page is dedicated to preparing an Ubuntu system for installing the foam-extend project .

2 Ubuntu versions

2.1 Ubuntu 18.04

Run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential binutils-dev cmake flex \
zlib1g-dev qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libncurses5-dev curl bison\
libxt-dev rpm mercurial graphviz python python-dev  gcc-7 g++-7

Then follow the instructions on the previous page, subsection Get the source code, but keep in mind to run a few additional commands before you run source etc/bashrc... More specifically, the commands should be executed something like this:

cd ~/foam/foam-extend-4.1
 
echo "export WM_CC='gcc-5'"  >> etc/prefs.sh
echo "export WM_CXX='g++-5'"  >> etc/prefs.sh
 
source etc/bashrc

Then before running Allwmake.firstInstall, run the following commands:

sed -i -e 's=rpmbuild --define=rpmbuild --define "_build_id_links none" --define=' ThirdParty/tools/makeThirdPartyFunctionsForRPM
sed -i -e 's/gcc/\$(WM_CC)/' wmake/rules/linux64Gcc/c
sed -i -e 's/g++/\$(WM_CXX)/' wmake/rules/linux64Gcc/c++
