OpenFOAM for Mac OS X 10.6+ (Intel 64-bit, DPOpt)

Distributed as a precompiled package on a disk image
Versions available are 1.7.x and 2.0.x

You need: Apple Developer Tools, GCC 4.5.3 from MacPorts

Patches by Bernhard Gschaider

HOWTO (only have to do all this ONCE):
1. Save the disk image (.sparseimage) in a convenient location
2. Mount the disk image; it will mount on /Volumes/Mac-OF-2.0.x
3. Do this in a terminal:
	cd ~
	ln -sf /Volumes/Mac-OF-2.0.x OpenFOAM
	cd OpenFOAM
	ln -sf ~/Documents/OF-User `whoami`-2.0.x
4. Edit your ~/.profile file in a text editor and add the following:
	. ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.0.x/etc/bashrc
5. Quit and reopen the Terminal application; OpenFOAM is ready

NOTES:
1. The images are 'sparse' disk images to save disk space
2. Renaming the images to .dmg will make them mount read-only
