poreFoam does not build on Ubuntu 20.04

@aliraeini : First of all, thanks a lot for sharing your code!

Following the instructions given in the readme pdf, I tried to build and install poreFoam on a laptop running Ubuntu 20.04.

Here is some further info:

cmake version 3.16.3
g++ (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0

Here is a collection of compilation and linker errors:
