Mark Olesen b970ba0901 ENH: minor improvements to environment
- 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

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
