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 LTS
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 python3 python3-dev
Then follow the instructions on the previous page, subsection Get the source code. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS comes with gcc/g++ 7.4.0 as default, so does not need any other adaptation of the standard process.
2.2 Ubuntu 19.10 and 20.04 LTS
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 in order to set the environment for gcc/g++ 7 to be used instead of gcc/g++ 9. More specifically, the commands should be executed something like this:
cd ~/foam/foam-extend-4.1 echo "export WM_CC='gcc-7'" >> etc/prefs.sh echo "export WM_CXX='g++-7'" >> 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++
