- the result of lsof, which is used in the etc/cshrc to locate the
installation, may contain trailing information about host and mount
point.
There is also a moderate concern with people sourcing the
file indirectly with their own version in the same directory.
For example, a 'etc/cshrc-site' that actually sources 'etc/cshrc'.
This leads to multiple matches in the lsof output, so we only take
the first one, stop there and hope they didn't do something even
trickier.
- Use the OPENFOAM define (eg, 1806, 1812), which normally corresponds
to a major release, to define an API level. This remains consistent
within a release cycle and means that it is possible to manage
several sub-versions and continue to have a consistent lookup.
The current API value is updated automatically during the build
and cached as meta data for later use, even when the wmake/ directory
is missing or OpenFOAM has not yet be initialized.
The version information reported on program start or with -help
usage adjusted to reflect this. The build tag from git now also
carries the date as being more meaningful to trace than a hash
value.
- Update etc/bashrc and etc/cshrc to obtain the project directory
directly instead of via its prefix directory. The value obtained
corresponds to an absolute path, from which the prefix directory
can be obtained.
The combination of these changes removes the reliance on any
particular directory naming convention.
For example,
With an 1812 version (API level):
WM_PROJECT_VERSION=myVersion
installed as /some/path/somewhere/openfoam-mySandbox
This makes the -prefix, -foamInstall, -projectVersion, -version
values of foamEtcFiles, and similar entries for foamConfigurePaths
superfluous.
WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR is no longer required or used
ENH: improve handling and discovery of ThirdParty
- improve the flexibility and reusability of ThirdParty packs to cover
various standard use cases:
1. Unpacking initial release tar files with two parallel directories
- OpenFOAM-v1812/
- ThirdParty-v1812/
2. With an adjusted OpenFOAM directory name, for whatever reason
- OpenFOAM-v1812-myCustom/
- openfoam-1812-other-info/
3. Operating with/without ThirdParty directory
To handle these use cases, the following discovery is used.
Note PROJECT = the OpenFOAM directory `$WM_PROJECT_DIR`
PREFIX = the parent directory
VERSION = `$WM_PROJECT_VERSION`
API = `$WM_PROJECT_API`, as per `foamEtcFiles -show-api`
0. PROJECT/ThirdParty
- for single-directory installations
1. PREFIX/ThirdParty-VERSION
- this corresponds to the traditional approach
2. PREFIX/ThirdParty-vAPI
- allows for an updated value of VERSION (eg, v1812-myCustom)
without requiring a renamed ThirdParty. The API value
would still be '1812' and the original ThirdParty-v1812/
would be found.
3. PREFIX/ThirdParty-API
- this is the same as the previous example, but using an unadorned
API value. This also makes sense if the chosen version name also
uses the unadorned API value in its naming
(eg, 1812-patch190131, 1812.19W03)
4. PREFIX/ThirdParty-common
- permits maximum reuse for various versions, but only for
experienced user who are aware of potential version
incompatibilities
Directory existence is checked as is the presence of an Allwmake file
or a platforms/ directory. This reduces the potential of false positive
matches and limits the selection to directories that are either
with sources (has the Allwmake file), or pre-compiled binaries (has
the platforms/ directory).
If none of the explored directories are found to be suitable,
it reverts to using a PROJECT/ThirdParty dummy location since
this is within the project source tree and can be trusted to
have no negative side-effects.
ENH: add csh support to foamConfigurePaths
- this removes the previously experienced inconsistence in config file
contents.
REMOVED: foamExec
- was previously used when switching versions and before the
bashrc/cshrc discovery logic was added. It is now obsolete.
- provide default WM_DIR if not already set, to improve robustness if a
reduced environment is used
- add etc/ to WM_PROJECT_SITE search. This makes the site directory
structure consistent with the OpenFOAM structure.
Eg,
WM_PROJECT_SITE/etc/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/bin/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/platforms/..
- Don't set/export WM_OSTYPE. The default is POSIX and is properly
defaulted throughout, including in CMakeLists-OpenFOAM.txt (also for
Catalyst)
- was PREFIX/site, now PROJECT/site
This avoids several issues when installing OpenFOAM in clusters
without an intermediate OpenFOAM-specific installation prefix.
The 'site' directory may have a reserved meaning in these situations
and it is undesirable to 'leak' upwards into the parent directory to
look for configuration files.
Placing the default within the project directory avoids this.
Alternative locations can be given via the WM_PROJECT_SITE variable.
- FOAM_CONFIG_NOUSER
Suppress use of user/group configuration files.
This is useful when packaging for a central installation.
- allow additional user tuning of compiler settings.
Per-compiler overrides in "compiler-$WM_COMPILER" files
- since 1612, FOAM_INST_DIR and foamInstDir longer have any
special meanings when sourcing the bashrc or cshrc files.
Thus no need for special treatment in any of the dispatch wrappers.
Retained FOAM_INST_DIR as (unexported) variable in etc/bashrc,
just in case people are using patched versions of etc/bashrc
as part of their installation.
ENH: relax prefix restrictions on foamCreateVideo (issue #904)
- shift the implicit '.' to be part of the default prefix. This allows
things like "-image myimages_00" to work as might be expected.
- primary points for an external user are the polyMesh constructor
- add config info for gcc-7.3.0
COMP: intel-2017. Ignore unknown pragmas. Disambiguate method resolution.
- forward command-line arguments for paraview, where they may also be
evaluated (cshrc, POSIX shell)
Eg,
. etc/bashrc ParaView_VERSION=5.4.1-mpipy
source etc/cshrc ParaView_VERSION=5.4.1-mpipy
- export library path for gmp/mpfr from CGAL config files.
This is required when non-system gmp/mpfr libraries are being
used, but not using a ThirdParty compiler installation.
- automatically handle lib/ vs lib64/ (eg, for central installations)
for packages such as boost, CGAL, etc. While the ThirdParty
compilation of these will normally land in lib64/, this may not be
the case when they are supplied by another means.
- reworked the handling of foamEtcFile and foamCleanPath for less
clutter in the configuration files.
Added the bin/tools/lib-dir script to handle logic that is
too complex to easily manage in csh.
- relocate WM_COMPILER_ARCH, WM_COMPILER_LIB_ARCH from
etc/{bashrc,cshrc} to etc/config.{csh,sh}/settings since these
should not be changed by the user anyhow.
- Use gcc/g++ as common base and specialize afterwards (to reduce
duplication)
- adjust format of WM_PROJECT_SITE fallback to allow for easier
automated edits
- currently no cleanup of completions when deactivating an OpenFOAM
tcsh environment
- tab completion with directories adds a space after the slash, which
makes navigation a bit annoying.
- allows configuration without an environment variable.
For compatibility still respect FOAM_SIGFPE and FOAM_SETNAN
env-variables
- The env-variables are now treated as true/false switch values.
Previously there was just a check for env exists or not, but this
can be fairly fragile for a user's environment.
Some versions of lsof print the mount point (if remote) after the
script path:
/hosts/mymachine/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-plus.develop/etc/cshrc (mymachine:/home)
This now gets filtered out.
- suppress error messages that appear with zsh.
According to unset(1p), 'unset -f' unsets a function.
If the function was not previously defined, this is a no-op.
This is similar for zsh, but there it emits a warning if the
function was not previously defined.
- avoid 'local' in functions sources from etc/bashrc.
ksh does not support this.
- use 'command' shell builtin instead of 'type'.
Seems to be more consistent between shell flavours.
- this implies that jobControl is a user-resource for OpenFOAM.
It was previously located under $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/jobControl,
but few users will have write access there.
- an unset FOAM_JOB_DIR variable is treated as "~/.OpenFOAM/jobControl",
which can partially reduce environment clutter.
- provide argList::noJobInfo() to conveniently suppress job-info on an
individual basis for short-running utilities (eg, foamListTimes) to
avoid unneeded clutter.
- permit SYSTEMMPI user adjustments via
etc/config.{csh,sh}/mpi-system
This can be a convenient place for setting up SYSTEMMPI for OpenFOAM
without adjusting bashrc, prefs.sh ...
- add a USERMPI type. This represents any generic mpi implementation.
The user is responsible for supplying an appropriate
wmake/rules/General/mplibUSERMPI file and managing all settings.
This type of setup can be useful in combination with specific build
systems (SPACK, EASYBUILD, etc) or module systems for which the MPI
variant is part of the installed configuration.
- handle sourcing bashrc with a relative path (issue #383)
- handle sourcing from bash and zsh.
Still need manual intervention when sourcing dash, sh, or ksh.
- replace grep in etc/cshrc with sed only
- logical instead of physical path for WM_PROJECT_DIR (issue #431).
Doesn't seem to be possible for csh/tcsh.
* Continue using physical locations when comparing directories,
but not for the top-level FOAM_INST_DIR, WM_PROJECT_DIR.
- relocate WM_CC, WM_CXX overrides from etc/config.*/compiler
to etc/config.*/settings to ensure that they are left untouched
when etc/config.sh/compiler is sourced while making third-party
packages (eg, gcc, llvm, CGAL).
- provide fallback FOAM_TUTORIALS setting in RunFunctions
STYLE: remove "~OpenFOAM" fallback as being too rare, non-obvious
Can now use this:
_foamSourceEtc config.sh/scotch
_foamSourceEtc config.csh/scotch
instead of this:
_foamSource $($WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/foamEtcFile config.sh/scotch)
_foamSource `$WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/foamEtcFile config.csh/scotch`
In the bash/sh version, leave the _foamSource function for now, since
ThirdParty is still relying on it.
STYLE: elminate while-loop for _foamAddPath etc since this type of
construct isn't readily possible for csh and isn't being used anywhere.
