Summary0003576: Allow WM_MPLIB to be set externally
DescriptionWe are developing a wrapper around OpenFOAM that ideally our users would not need to make any local edits to OpenFOAM's etc/bashrc file to get to compile with our SYSTEMMPI (instead of the current default of SYSTEMOPENMPI). We would prefer that users obtain a clean clone of OpenFOAM-dev with custom environment variables set in ~/.bashrc.

I would like to propose a simple modification that allows WM_MPLIB to be set outside of `OpenFOAM-dev/etc/bashrc` if not already set:

Replace:

export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI

With:

if [[ -z "${WM_MPLIB}" ]]
then
    export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI
fi
TagsNo tags attached.

We have had a lot of problem with this kind of logic in the past and have removed it in preference for setting the environment variables in local files, e.g. ~/.OpenFOAM/dev/prefs.sh

If you type

foamEtcFile -list

you will see the list of locations the files are read from, at least one of them should suit your purpose.
