#228 writeFieldsGeneralFunctionObject.C fails to build with OpenFOAM 2.2

[Bruno Santos]

The file Libraries/simpleFunctionObjects/writeFields/writeFieldsGeneral/writeFieldsGeneralFunctionObject.C is hardcoded to always include basicThermoCloud.H, which doesn't exist in OpenFOAM 2.2 (possibly due to an automatic renaming script that went wrong at OpenCFD).

The fix is provided in attachment in hg bundle and patch formats, where the inclusion is removed and instead the existing class swakFluidThermoCloudType is used instead, since it's the one designed for this.

I only found out about this while diagnosing this: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/138996-swak4foam-installation-problem.html#post558008

The patch file... couldn't attach more than one attachment per post... weird...

[Bernhard Gschaider]

Thanks. This only affects 2.2, right?

I merged the bundle into my develop branch and will push it ASAP

Dear Bernhard,
Could you please tell me , how to merge bundle in develop branch

[Bernhard Gschaider]

The bundle has been merged into the repository in 2015 and has since been part of releases and the development branch of swak4foam
So there is no need to to merge the bundle anymore
Nevertheless: the oldest version the swak4foam is currently tested with is 2.3, It may be possible that changes to swak4foam in the last 5 years broke the compilation on 2.2 or older versions. This is unfortunate but I have no plans to look into this
If you really have to use 2.2 then use

hg update -r v0.4.0

to checkout the oldest release that has these changes. Of course this would miss the latest features of swak4foam but the basic stuff should be there

[NAVEEN KUSHWAHA]

Could you please elaborate the process of fixing this bug.

How to use this patch, kindly help.

[Bernhard Gschaider]

The patch has been part of swak4Foam for 5 years (so there is no need to apply it if your swak4Foam-sources are younger than that) and was only necessary for OF 2.2 (are you really using that version?)

[chronicnerd]

Yes, I was using OF2.2, due to some unavoidable reasons. The patch did not work but I managed to figure out something else. Anyways, deeply appreciate the speedy response!!

I am facing problem in building it on OF 2.2.0. after patching
