Installation/Mac OS/OpenFOAM 2.2.2
1 Introduction and Notes
This guide is derived from OpenFOAM 2.1.x Installation with some modifications derived thanks to help provided on this thread of CFD Online Forum . The format of the page is based on OpenFOAM 1.7.x Installation.
These compilation instructions have only been tested on the following system:
Macbook (version 6,2) Intel Core i7 2.66Ghz Mac OS X Mavericks (version 10.9)
These instructions may need to be tailored as required to fit your specific system if they deviate from the above; you would be able to ask support on this thread if you needed it.
Many thanks go to Bernhard Gschaider (a.k.a. gschaider) of CFD Online for maintaining the latest OpenFOAM Mac OS X patches and for the big help that he provided me.
2 Prepare your Mac OS X Environment
2.1 Macports
To install Macports you need to install xCode, you can find it on the App Store. After XCode you need to install the Command Line Tools. Installing Command Line Tools for Mavericks is different from what you would do with previous OSX versions.
2.1.1 Command Line Tools for OSX 10.9 "Mavericks"
To install CLT on OSX 10.9 open a terminal application (for example Terminal.app) and run
xcode-select --install
a window will be prompted where you can confirm installation.
2.1.2 Command Line Tools for OSX version < 10.9
In previous versions of OSX (and of xCode) you can download CLT directly from xCode Preferences > Downloads > Components
2.1.3 xCode License
Now you should accept the xCode License so run, always in the Terminal (this could be needed only on OSX 10.9)
sudo xcodebuild -license
and when asked type "agree" to accept the license. Now xCode "things" should work correctly.
2.1.4 MacPorts Installation
Now to install Macports you can download the pre-compiled package from the Official Website.
2.2 Build and Install the necessary software
To install all the tools we'll need run in Terminal:sudo port selfupdateWait for the end of all operations then do:
sudo port install gcc46 openmpi boost cgal ccache flex bison
Now wait (a bit...)
3 OpenFOAM Building
3.1 Creation of Case Sensitive .sparseimage
Note: Images here shown are taken from Installation/Mac_OS/OpenFOAM_2.1.x, you could change the name of the sparseimage from OpenFOAM-v2.1 to OpenFOAM-v2.2.2 (and this will be assumed from here on)
First, we create a disk image with the Apple Disk Utility. Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Click New Image:
It is important to set as Format: Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive,Journaled). The sparse image will grow with the place used inside the image. Create a sparse image with the following settings (examples, you could change the values):
3.2 OpenFOAM sources and patches
Note: Rember that when you're inside the terminal you can auto-complete your commands pressing the TAB button
Download OpenFOAM 2.2.2 sources from here and patches (OpenFOAM-2.2.2 Patch || SurfaceCGAL Fix || ThirdParty Patch) [1] and put everything inside the .sparseimage (you probably saved in ~/Documents).
ln -s /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.2.2 OpenFOAMnow we can go to OF directory just doing (from home directory)
cd OpenFOAM
Let's extract the two archives:tar -xvf OpenFOAM-2.2.2.tgz tar -xvf ThirdParty-2.2.2.tgzNow your OF directory should look like this

# Current Folder: ~/OpenFOAM$ mv OpenFOAM-2.2.x_Mac-20130309 OpenFOAM-2.2.2 mv SurfaceCGALFix.patch OpenFOAM-2.2.2 mv ThirdParty-2.2_Mac-20130309.patch Thirdparty-2.2.2
Let's apply them
#Current Folder: ~/OpenFOAM cd OpenFOAM-2.2.2 #Current Folder: ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.2 patch -p1<OpenFOAM-2.2.x_Mac-20130309.patch patch -p1<SurfaCGALFix.patch cd .. #Current Folder: ~/OpenFOAM/ cd ThirdParty-2.2.2 #Current Folder: ~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.2 patch -p1<ThirdParty-2.2_patch cd .. #Current Folder: ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFoam patch badly writes compilers symlinks so we have to correct:
