Note: unconfirmed indicates that although it might build, it doesn't mean that it will work as intended.

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 Possible with the details provided on this thread: Compile Error of OpenFOAM-2.2.0 on RedHat EL5.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 Building CGAL might have issues with a custom build of GCC 4.8.2, as explained on this bug report.
- ↑ See post #6 in the thread [OpenFOAM][2.4.0] Error in the building of ParaView 4.1.0 for some more information on what needs fixing to get GCC 6.y to be usable.
- ↑ See instructions for OpenFOAM 4.0 on Ubuntu 20.40, step #11.2, which gets a patch from OpenFOAM-dev and applies it.
- ↑ 6.0 6.1 6.2 On the 5th of August 2016, in commit 618753c5b4, was marked the change regarding explicit support for C++11. More details given in the commit description, but 4.8 is the recommended minimum version. Furthermore, as commented in issue #2230, GCC 4.7 cannot be used any more to build OpenFOAM-dev.
2.2 Intel C++ Compiler (ICC)
- Description
- This compiler is free for non-commercial users on Linux. Yields good/very good performance on Intel processors.
- Comments
- Latest GCC versions (4.5.0 and above) have been proven themselves to be on par or better than ICC.
It's not advisable to use ICC on non-Intel (AMD, Via, etc) machines - source: ICC on Wikipedia, section Criticism. But it's possible to use it if the option -SSE3 is not used:

- ↑ Compiling with GCC 4.7 requires two details: having the latest 1.6-ext commit, as well as a couple of hacks to make sure that things build as intended. Both can indications can be found in the instructions of installing 1.6-ext on Ubuntu 13.04, which uses GCC 4.7.3.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Compiling with GCC 4.6.3 might be very slow and it could potentially have problems in running in some cases. This has been witnessed at least with Ubuntu 12.04. For more details:
