Mark Olesen c84b9aaac6 ENH: use new foamEtcFile options to simplify syntax when sourcing files
Can now use this:
    _foamSourceEtc config.sh/scotch
    _foamSourceEtc config.csh/scotch

instead of this:
    _foamSource $($WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/foamEtcFile config.sh/scotch)
    _foamSource `$WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/foamEtcFile config.csh/scotch`

In the bash/sh version, leave the _foamSource function for now, since
ThirdParty is still relying on it.

STYLE: elminate while-loop for _foamAddPath etc since this type of
construct isn't readily possible for csh and isn't being used anywhere.

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
