    What is the C++ compiler that you are using? Post the smallest and simplest program that demonstrates the error.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Hi,

    I am using Linux os with GNU compiler. I am trying to solve injector problem using OpenFoam software. In that i have to add boundary condition for that i have some .C and .H files Here are the files available in this link:

    SourceForge.net Repository - [openfoam-extend] Index of /trunk/Core/OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev/src/finiteVolume/fields/fvPatchFields/derived/fixedMeanValue



    when i included these files to the standard .C and .H which are available in my computer(standered .C and .H files) and tried to execute it it is showing the following error:

    Making dependency list for source file cavitatingFoam.C

    Find the nearest forum / newsgroup to the source.

    Maybe here
    http://extend-project.de/

    Several things to bear in mind
    1. They've probably seen it already
    2. They probably know how to fix it in the best way (if they haven't done so already)
    3. They have the most motivation to get it fixed quickly

    Here, you're just taking a blind shot in the dark that someone might just know something.

    Post the code for cavitatingFoam.C; if it is like the code here
    OpenFOAM programmer's C++ documentation

    Then I say the cavitatingFoam.C code is VERY poorly written.
    They are using #include from inside the main function; this is really really bad stuff.
