Develop blueCFD-Core 2020-1

wyldckat commented 5 years ago

Notes:

Don't forget to update issue #135 as development goes on (issue for release notes).
Use issues #58 and #86 as a reference for some of the steps below.
I'm not certain if this version will actually be released as an installer...

Development steps:

Sync up branch blueCFD-Core-5.x with upstream OpenFOAM 5.x.
Backport from 5.x to dev and sync up branch blueCFD-Core-dev with upstream OpenFOAM-dev.
TODO Progress to OpenFOAM-8 and rebuild our port.
TODO Run the tests with Alltest (see #58 for how it is done).
TODO Update the installer and revise pending bugs.
TODO Wrap up tasks associated to this milestone that are meant to be packaged into the installer: https://github.com/blueCFD/Core/milestone/6
TODO Release blueCFD-Core 2020-1 to the public.
TODO Revise https://github.com/blueCFD/Core/wiki/Released-patch-files
TODO Revise other relevant wiki pages: https://github.com/blueCFD/Core/wiki/

Step 1

In this comment: https://github.com/blueCFD/Core/issues/58#issuecomment-329237034 - it's indicated how I sorted out the backporting of commits back then.

Command for getting the list of actual commits I did without merging needed:

git log --author="Bruno Santos" --oneline d3872b3~1.. | grep -v "Merge branch 'OpenFOAM-5.x'"

References:

MSYS2 Wiki - Installation instructions: https://www.msys2.org/wiki/MSYS2-installation/
Download the MSys2 installer from here: http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/
Install at X:\msys64

Once installed, make sure to start the MSYS2 Shell (Start -> Programs -> MSYS2 -> MSYS2 Shell) and follow the update steps from here: https://www.msys2.org/wiki/MSYS2-installation/#iii-updating-packages

Namely, run pacman -Syuu as many times as needed.

Start the MINGW64 Shell and install the following packages:

For essentials:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain flex bison mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-readline mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-ncurses mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gmp mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-mpfr mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-cgal mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-eigen3 tar wget patch make unzip diffutils git

It will ask if all of the members for the group mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain are to be installed, to which you can simply press the Enter key to continue.

For 3rd party software:

pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-extra-cmake-modules mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-meld3 svn p7zip tree doxygen man  mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gnuplot bc

Development notes

Need to copy the etc/config.d folder from OpenFOAM 5.x... nevermind as well, moved it to a folder outside of OpenFOAM itself.
Need to get cv2pdb... er, never mind, our scripts already do this for us.
Unfortunately mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-evince is not working as intended, where 3.36.6-1 was installed, but was not able to open eps files :( So had to remove it once again, by running:

Ended up having to release it as it was, without fixing the known issues on a few tutorials.
