Mark Olesen e8f6099a1f COMP: Newer CGAL versions break current CGAL wmake rules (issue #288)
On 64-bit systems, the system installations of boost, cgal are under
lib64/. The behaviour for a ThirdParty build is mostly lib/ but this
can also be changing.

    Boost 1_62_0 and older build into 'lib/'.
    CGAL-4.9 builds into 'lib64/', older versions into 'lib/'.

Future-proof things by using lib$WM_COMPILER_LIB_ARCH for boost and
cgal build rules, and forcing these as build targets in the ThirdParty
makeCGAL as well.

STYLE: check for boost/version.hpp, CGAL/version.h instead their directories

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
