1 Compiling on 1.4

This is just a sketch. More will come

1.1 Preparing for Compilation

Install latest XCode
Generate a disk-image with a Case-sensitive filesystem
Install additional Utilities via darwinports
- I think flex++, but I'm not sure

1.2 Preparing the sources

Extract the sources into the disk-image
Apply the patch Media:OpenFOAM1.4-forMac.v1.patch

1.3 Compilation

See the regular README

This should compile everything except for

the Paraview-connection (paraFoam)
FoamX-stuff

1.4 Comments on the patch

the stuff in doubleFloat.H repairs the fact that the Apple-headers don't have prototypes for those functions (don't know if they exist in the Library)
- Should be guarded with a #ifdef darwin
Most of the other stuff is described in the serction about 1.3 below

1.5 Future plans

Compile with paraview 2.6
Incorporate FoamX

2 Old Stuff: Verbose description on 1.3

Currently this page only gives a description which files have been modified to compile the vanilla-1.3-sources (this is basically a transcript of my notes). A more detailed description will be given when I have the time (plus I want to wait for 1.4 until I do that)

Stuff with a question mark are things I don't know without looking at the source what I have done

basrc and cshrc in .OpenFOAM and paraview modified to recognize darwin

applications//utilities/miscellaneous/foamFlex/flexdef.h: malloc.h is in different location

OSSpecific/Unix/fileStat.C: sysmacros

error.C: special case for darwin Darwin

wmake/Makefile: rules for darwin-dylib

.cshrc and .bashrc ?

rusles/darwin (Changes on LINKEXE - there's got to be another way)

TODO: DYLIB_PATH in normale Files

sonicFoamAutoMotion: Addition in options (meshTools must be linked to it)
- moveMesh: ditto
- boxTurb: ditto
- mapFields: ditto

financialFoam: finiteVolume
- icoErrorEstimate: detto
- momentScalarError: detto
- icoMomentError: detto

in /applications/utilities/postProcessing/graphics/PVFoamReader/PVFoamReader/Make/darwinDPOpt CMakeFiles/PVFoamReader.dir/build.make for the linking command the option "-undefined dynamic_lookup" has to be added
