FreeBSD Port: openfoam-1.4.1_1

[Richard Samuel]

Thierry,

Sorry, 1.5.1 is more my term than their's, a better term would be OpenFOAM
1.5-CURRENT. Yes it from the latest git sources.

BTW thanks for all your work on OpenFOAM and Paraview - without it I would
not have known where to start.

I recall seeing the mgridgen.h issue at some point, but presently I am only
using the native openmpi port - the metis and gridgen components I am using
are from the OpenFOAM ThirdParty tarball, which probably avoids that issue.

Regards
Richard

This is very interesting. I tried to upgrade OpenFoam to the latest 1.5 from
the offcial tarball, but did'nt succeed: it seems that some files (e.g.
mgridgen.h are mising)!

I don't find 1.5.1 on their site; is it available only from git, or is there
a tarball available?

Best regards,
