#241 swak4foam cannot compile for v1712 due to foamString error

[Eelco van Vliet]

When I try to compoile the develoment version for swak4foam given by
openfoam-extend-swak4Foam-fbc33b88bb0835ccd2fd3bea26edf702c90141ae.zip

the compiler fails for openfoam v1712 due to an error of a missing foamString.H file

At the start of compilation you can see

etc

appearantly the foamString and foamTime can not be found.

I have correctly build the openfoam v1712 dist and have bison and flex version 3.0.4 and 2.6.0 install

Anyway idea if this can be fixed ? Thanks

The messages you cite are not a problem. That is due to a limitation of wmkdepit doesn't know how to handle #ifdefs (which swak4Foam is heavily contaminated with). To avoid compilation problems on certain platform foam-extend renamed string.H to foamString.H and swak has an #ifdef for that. Which wmkdep doesn't understand and reports but later the real compiler can handle it

So IF there is really a problem you should see it later. Check whether you'd just let yourself be scared by those messages and compilation actually no problem
