I've taken a better look into the code and the environment variables that are reflected in the data you've provided so far.

The one issue that I can deduce is that perhaps you changed something during the builds you've been doing, because you currently have the environment variable "WM_ARCH_OPTION" set to 32, which is correct. This in turn reflects in the compile string:

  g++ -DlinuxARM7 -DWM_ARCH_OPTION=32 ...

Which is also correct.

But this is in turn should have been used in the following two files:

  - https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.x/blob/version-3.0.1/src/OpenFOAM/primitives/ints/int32/int32.H#L75

  - https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.x/blob/version-3.0.1/src/OpenFOAM/primitives/ints/int32/int32IO.C#L107


But according to the error message you're getting, the compiler did not do the build of the file "int32IO.C" properly in the OpenFOAM library, which is why these two "operator" entries are missing.

Therefore, if the environment variable "WM_ARCH_OPTION" had been set to this value since the first time you tried to build OpenFOAM 3.0.1, then the compiler should not be complaining about this specific problem right now.

On the other hand, if you've been building things properly since the beginning, then this could be a weird compiler bug in the Raspbian build.

Originally I attempted to compile with the default settings
for bashrc file where set to 64 by default, for 2nd attempt set to 32
for cOpt and c++Opt files -mfloat-abi=softfp for 2nd attempt set to -mfloat-abi=hard.

1st attempt didn't take that long to compile. The 2nd attempt took nearly 11 hours!

Do I need to remove the # tags on the following to force 32 bit and re-compile or ???

#if WM_ARCH_OPTION == 32
    Istream& operator>>(Istream&, long&);
    Ostream& operator<<(Ostream&, const long);
#endif

Thanks.

Then the solution should be fairly simple - Run the following commands for doing a full clean up of this build of the 3rd-party folder and OpenFOAM:

    foam3rdParty
    ./Allclean

    foam
    wcleanAll
    

Now trying building it again.


As for taking longer with "-mfloat-abi=hard", it might have to do with the compiler having to optimize for the hardware FPU, since it might be judging which is the best internal operation to be used for multiplying 2 values or adding two values, or calculation the power operator and so on.
The "softfp" probably just goes on the notion that the mathematical operators are simply the standard ones, no further optimization required, since it's just a matter of linking to an existing library or simply copy-paste the binary blob that does the math.

Had to move wcleanAll from wmake folder to OpenFOAM-3.0.1 folder to execute.

When you say build again, is that from unzipping the compressed openfoam files, reinstalling the libraries and the ./Allwmake or just the later.

Note I read somewhere that openfoam will not compile if mfloat is set to soft

That is very strange... you shouldn't need to do that... was the shell environment for OpenFOAM fully loaded?


> When you say build again, is that from unzipping the compressed openfoam files, reinstalling the libraries and the ./Allwmake or just the later.

Sorry, I meant that you run "./Allwmake" again. I kept it as a generic description, because I traditionally use this script in a bit more complex fashion:

  ./Allwmake -j > log.make 2>&1

which will run with all available cores and redirect all output to the file "log.make".



> Note I read somewhere that openfoam will not compile if mfloat is set to soft

Mmm... strange. I'll have to get my hands on one or two Raspberry Pies myself... my guess is that the "softfp" option only works with single precision (WM_PRECISION_OPTION=SP).

"Optimum is the enemy of good"... the problem is that the Scotch library isn't building, because OpenFOAM's scripts in ThirdParty are not prepared for building on ARM.

Let's first focus first on building OpenFOAM. Please run the following commands, so that we don't rely on Scotch for now:

  foam
  cd etc/config
  mv scotch.sh scotch.sh.bck

  foam
  ./Allwmake -j > log.make 2>&1

Ouch... the error message was this:

  g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)
  Please submit a full bug report,
  with preprocessed source if appropriate.


I forgot that the Pi doesn't have much memory to work with. Maybe the problem was due to a crash as it ran out of memory, possibly because I forgot about that and told you to build using all cores :(

Try using these commands instead:

  foam
  unset WM_NCOMPPROCS
  ./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

this will ensure that only 1 core is used for the build. If you're building inside the Pi, hopefully there's enough RAM for building in serial mode.

paraview installed and executes.

Note some of the errors during compilation are due to missing folder

there is a \usr\lib folder.

Also, is there any issue with ignoring scotch.sh?

Excellent, so OpenFOAM is now built with success! Can you please describe the changes you had to do in "etc/bashrc" and/or "etc/config/settings.sh"?


> Note some of the errors during compilation are due to missing folder \usr\lib64

That's a bit strange... are you referring to building OpenFOAM or ParaView?


> Also, is there any issue with ignoring scotch.sh?

Depends on the type of cases you're planning on running with the Pi. Without Scotch, the remaining decomposition methods are only able to subdivide the domain based on orthogonal orientations, or using manual decomposition.

If you need to decompose complex meshes to run in parallel - for example, for an airplane, car, motorbike - then Scotch is crucial.
Nonetheless, are you able to install the packages "libmetis-dev" and "libparmetis-dev" using 'apt-get' in Raspbian? Because if you are, then Metis can be used as an alternative to Scotch.

The other possibility is to install "libscotch-dev" and "libptscotch-dev" with 'apt-get', but I'm not certain if OpenFOAM 3.0.1 is still compatible with Scotch 5.10.1...

the thirdparty script Allwmake wasn't used to compile due to the issue with scotch. Is the reason it doesn't work on pi3 is because of the following section of code which makes reference to i686?

# building scotch is still a bit of a pain
echo ========================================
echo "Build Scotch decomposition library $SCOTCH_VERSION"
echo " $SCOTCH_ARCH_PATH"
# this needs generalizing
scotchMakefile=../../etc/wmakeFiles/scotch/Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-$WM_ARCH_OPTION$WM_LABEL_OPTION


paraview was compiled using makeParaView4 (option to use makeParaView) script. References to lib64 folder which doesn't exist:

# MPI support:
withMPI=false
MPI_MAX_PROCS=32

# Python support:
# note: script will try to determine the appropriate python library.
# If it fails, specify the path using the PYTHON_LIBRARY variable
withPYTHON=false
PYTHON_LIBRARY=""
# PYTHON_LIBRARY="/usr/lib64/libpython2.6.so.1.0"

# MESA graphics support:
withMESA=false
MESA_INCLUDE="/usr/include/GL"
MESA_LIBRARY="/usr/lib64/libOSMesa.so"

No /usr/lib64 there is a /usr/lib with folders for python 2.6 and 2.7 and 3 and 3.4

/usr/lib also as a number of libscotch.so, libscotch-5.1.so etc files. I see that the third part version runs 6.0.3

when compiling makeParaView4
Configuring paraview-4.4.0 (major version: 4.4)

OK, those references to "lib64" are normal, since they are the default settings. You can override them via command line. If I'm not mistaken, the following should work in Raspbian:

  ./makeParaView4 -python -mpi -python-lib /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 > log.makePV 2>&1

Although first make sure you installed Python 2.7:

  apt-get install python python-dev



As for trying to build Scotch, run the following commands to reinstate the original settings and then go into the 3rd-party folder:

  foam
  cd etc/config
  mv scotch.sh.bck scotch.sh

  foam3rdParty


Now you need to edit the file "etc/wmakeFiles/scotch/Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-32Int32" and delete the 3 occurrences of "-m32". This can be done with the following command:

  sed -i.bck -e "s=\-m32==g" etc/wmakeFiles/scotch/Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-32Int32


Now try running Allwmake from within the 3rd-party folder:

  ./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

Run it a second time, hopefully to get a summary of the build:

  ./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1


With luck, it builds. If not, you will need to manually edit the file "Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-32Int32" and add the build options that you used for building OpenFOAM, namely the ones that had the reference to the "hard" float.

> Any issue with the Metis not building?

It's optional and you can use the one installed via 'apt-get' as a viable alternative.


Now that Scotch is built, go into OpenFOAM's folder and run Allwmake again, so that Scotch is used where it's needed:

  foam
  ./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1



As for building ParaView with the additional options, the new options give you:

  1. the ability to use Python scripting and save/load macros as Python scripts. Right now you don't have either one of those options.

  2. The MPI option is in case you need to use ParaView's inherent capability to post-process in parallel... although it's not very straight forward to use.


If you do want one or both of these features, then do the following steps:

  1. Edit the file "etc/tools/ParaView4Functions" in the "ThirdParty-3.0.1" folder.

  2. Look for the following line and comment it out:

     rm -rf $ParaView_BINARY_DIR

  3. Save and close the file in the text editor.

  4. Now you can run the "makeParaView4" script and it will reuse the existing build of ParaView and add in the new features, therefore saving you some time.

./makeParaView4 -python -mpi -python-lib /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 > log.makePV 2>&1

the above doesn't exist, used:

./makeParaView4 -python -mpi -python-lib /usr/lib/python2.7/config-arm-linux-gnueabihf/libpython2.7.so > log.makePV 2>&1

system is slowly compiling the python bit.during the compilation:

    MESA support : false

sed: can't read /home/pi/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-3.0.1/ParaView-4.4.0/VTK/Utilities/kwsys/kwsysDateStamp.cmake: No such file or directory

The direcory should be KWSys and file kwsysDateStamp.cmake doesn't exist.

Makes sense that the Python libraries would be installed elsewhere. I didn't even remember to think about that.

The MESA support is turned off by default.

The message about "kwsysDateStamp.cmake" can be ignored.

So in review, the brief steps on how to build on Raspbian are to:

  1- Make sure you use "WM_ARCH_OPTION=32" in "OpenFOAM-*/etc/bashrc" or we can update "config/settings.sh" to override the bit mode for armv7.

  2- There seems to be a need to have different file nomenclatures at "ThirdParty-*", because this: "etc/wmakeFiles/scotch/Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-$WM_ARCH_OPTION$WM_LABEL_OPTION" - doesn't always work for all architectures... given that "-m32" doesn't work on Raspbian. Either that, or use the older Scotch version from Raspbian, which has some downsides.

  3- Tweak settings to one's needs, either in the "wmake/rules" files; or when building ParaView, make sure to link to the correct architecture's library folders.

I was able to run the motorbike example. The paraFoam is slow due to the lack of graphic memory and GPU. However, it did work.

The installation procedure for Raspbian Jessie is:
(note I have not tried from scratch but what is specified below is a summary of the work above).

tar xzf OpenFOAM-3.0.1.tgz
tar xzf ThirdParty-3.0.1.tgz

cd /home/username/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.1/etc
edit file: bashrc
in bashrc file - change from 64 to 32 bit
#- Memory addressing:
# On a 64bit OS this can be 32bit or 64bit
# On a 32bit OS addressing is 32bit and this option is not used
# WM_ARCH_OPTION = 32 | 64
#export WM_ARCH_OPTION=64
export WM_ARCH_OPTION=32

cd /home/username/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.1/wmake/rules/linuxARM7Gcc
edit file: cOpt
move the # from 1st to 2nd line:
cOPT = -O3 -floop-optimize -falign-loops -falign-labels -falign-functions -falign-jumps -fprefetch-loop-arrays -mcpu=cortex-a9 -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard
#cOPT = -O3 -floop-optimize -falign-loops -falign-labels -falign-functions -falign-jumps -fprefetch-loop-arrays -mcpu=cortex-a9 -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mfloat-abi=softfp

edit file: c++Opt
c++OPT = -O3 -floop-optimize -falign-loops -falign-labels -falign-functions -falign-jumps -fprefetch-loop-arrays -mcpu=cortex-a9 -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard
#c++OPT = -O3 -floop-optimize -falign-loops -falign-labels -falign-functions -falign-jumps -fprefetch-loop-arrays -mcpu=cortex-a9 -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mfloat-abi=softfp

sudo su
apt-get install build-essential flex bison cmake zlib1g-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin gnuplot libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libxt-dev

apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev freeglut3-dev libqtwebkit-dev

apt-get install libphonon-dev libphonon4 libqt4-core libqt4-gui qt4-qmake cmake-curses-gui mesa-common-dev openmpi-common python-dev

Now you need to edit the file "etc/wmakeFiles/scotch/Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-32Int32" and delete the 3 occurrences of "-m32". This can be done with the following command:

  sed -i.bck -e "s=\-m32==g"
/home/username/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-3.0.1/etc/wmakeFiles/scotch/Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-32Int32

cd $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR

(Please note: do not use the -j option to use all 4 cores, as crashes, probably due to memory constraints. The following steps will take time 12-24 hours).

./Allwmake

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
./makeParaView4

cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV4Readers
wmSET
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

cd /home/username
edit file: bashrc
source /home/username/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.1/etc/bashrc

Testing the Installation
cd /home/username/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.1/bin
./foamInstallationTest

Getting Started

Create a project directory within the $HOME/OpenFOAM directory named <USER>-3.0.1 (e.g. chris-3.0.1 for user chris and OpenFOAM version 3.0.1) and create a directory named run within it, e.g. by typing:

mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN
Copy the tutorial examples directory in the OpenFOAM distribution to the run directory. If the OpenFOAM environment variables are set correctly, then the following command will be correct:
cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS $FOAM_RUN
Run the first example case of incompressible laminar flow in a cavity:
cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity
blockMesh
icoFoam
paraFoam
Refer to the OpenFOAM User Guide to get started.

@Henry: Attached are the following packages for OpenFOAM-dev and ThirdParty-dev, along with a description of the provided updates:

  - OpenFOAM-dev_updated_scotch_build_v1.tar.gz - which provides an update for "OpenFOAM-dev/etc/config.sh/settings":

    - for the i686 architecture, it now also defines the variables "WM_CC" et al for this build.

    - for the armv7l architecture, it now also sets "WM_ARCH_OPTION", the same way it's done for i686 and it's associated to one of the issues reported here.

    - Note: I didn't add anything to "ia64", simply because I don't have access to a machine with this architecture, but it could use the variables "WM_CC" et al...


  - ThirdParty-dev_updated_scotch_build_v1.tar.gz - which provides the following files:

    - ThirdParty-dev/etc/wmakeFiles/scotch/Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM

      - It consolidates what's defined on the other 3 files "Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-*", by relying on the "WM_CFLAGS" and "WM_LDFLAGS" environment variables, which are defined for the majority of the systems.

      - It conditionally appends "-DINTSIZE64" to "CFLAGS" when "ifeq ($(WM_LABEL_OPTION),Int64)".

      - It's still hard-coded to using "gcc" as the compiler. I don't have access to most of the other architectures, in order to assess what needs to be done, but this change consolidates the other 3 files into a single one and it's a bit more generic.

    - ThirdParty-dev/Allwmake

      - It now uses the single "Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM" file, instead of conditionally using one of the 3 existing ones.


With all of these changes, it sorts out the majority of the issues reported here.

As for providing detailed instructions for Raspbian at openfoam.org, that's beyond my control, but given that with these changes, the majority of the issues are sorted out, the instructions for Ubuntu should cover most of the details.
The only critically missing detail would be the changes done to the wmake rules, but since that's system-dependent, those details are usually left out of the general installation instructions.


@alan_afw2: That being said, I've managed to test and revise these changes during this weekend, by using a chroot+QEMU set-up with Raspbian and I've written the instructions here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-dev/Raspbian - it's a wiki and it's open to the public, so do feel free to edit it and add/update as you see necessary.

@Henry: I forgot to detail that I've also tested these changes on a VM with Ubuntu 16.04 i686 and on a real machine with Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64, both 32 and 64-bit.

In addition, the file "Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-32Int32", the use of "-L$MPI_ARCH_PATH/lib" will lead to GNU Make interpreting as "-LPI_ARCH_PATH/lib", therefore it's pretty much useless and I didn't use it at all in the attached package.

Presumably with these change the files

Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-32Int32 Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-64Int32 Makefile.inc.i686_pc_linux2.shlib-OpenFOAM-64Int64

can be removed?

Yes, sorry, I forgot to emphasize that those 3 files can be removed.
