Mark Olesen 704620aea1 ENH: simplify check for metis sizes (issue #290)
- Now that the metisDecomp uses the metis definition for float/double,
  do not need to verify the scalar sizes.

Note:
- could drop precision qualifier for metis, scotch installation
  (include, lib) as being unneeded, but it is simpler to keep them
  and continue to use the FOAM_EXT_LIBBIN path
  (in case other ThirdParty software is compiled with different
  precisions).

OpenFOAM Configuration

The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. The bash and csh shells are supported and to configure OpenFOAM source etc/bashrc or etc/cshrc respectively which source the following files in the config.sh or config.csh respectively:

  • settings: core settings
  • aliases: aliases for interactive shells
  • unset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possible
  • mpi: MPI communications library settings
  • ensight: application settings for EnSight
  • paraview: application settings for ParaView
  • scotch: application settings for compiling against scotch
  • metis: application settings for compiling against metis 5

The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:

  • compiler: an example of fine tuning ThirdParty compiler settings
  • openmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAM
  • paraview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSION
  • prefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
