- 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 settingsaliases: aliases for interactive shellsunset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possiblempi: MPI communications library settingsensight: application settings for EnSightparaview: application settings for ParaViewscotch: application settings for compiling against scotchmetis: 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 settingsopenmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAMparaview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSIONprefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
