Mark Olesen c740656eb4 ENH: replace SOURCE_CGAL_VERSIONS_ONLY workaround (fixes #148)
- replace with an alternative workaround.

  Unset the _foamAddLib function prior to sourcing config.sh/CGAL:

  - LD_LIBRARY_PATH will not be adjusted.
  - cgal_version/boost_version variables will be retained.

Note: for ThirdParty builds, it is important that the boost and CGAL
paths are added into LD_LIBRARY_PATH even if before they are created.
This ensures that the OpenFOAM environment is functional after the
build.

The '*-none' and '*-system' specifications can still be used to avoid
setting them at all.

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
