Mark Olesen 110b00f048 ENH: improved handling of gmp/mpfr library settings (issue #674)
- export library path for gmp/mpfr from CGAL config files.
  This is required when non-system gmp/mpfr libraries are being
  used, but not using a ThirdParty compiler installation.

- automatically handle lib/ vs lib64/ (eg, for central installations)
  for packages such as boost, CGAL, etc. While the ThirdParty
  compilation of these will normally land in lib64/, this may not be
  the case when they are supplied by another means.

- reworked the handling of foamEtcFile and foamCleanPath for less
  clutter in the configuration files.
  Added the bin/tools/lib-dir script to handle logic that is
  too complex to easily manage in csh.

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
