| Summary | 0004270: Instructions for "Compiling OpenFOAM from Source Code", the list of compilation software is missing bison | ||||
| Description | The instructions for compiling OF from sources and the list of compilation software is missing bison. it seems that compiling the Scotch library in the ThirdParty package requires bison to dynamically generate the "scotch.h" file. This was tested on Debian 13, "Trixie", and it may be that e.g. Ubuntu has bison included in the build-essential package. Anyway, listing bison in the required compilation software would help at least the Debian users. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Install Debian 13, "Trixie", default installation. 2. Follow the instructions for "Compiling OpenFOAM from Source Code" at https://openfoam.org/download/source/. 3. Install the compilation software listed on page "OpenFOAM Repo: 1. Software for Compilation" at https://openfoam.org/download/source/software-for-compilation/. For Debian 13 installation, the apt-get command for Ubuntu can be used as Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian - that seems to work. 4. Follow the rest of the instructions. 5. OF compilation fails due to missing the "scotch.h" file. | ||||
