Talked to ouar OpenFOAM expert. He had the following comments:
* On a modern machine he compiled OpenFOAM-4.x in about 35 minutes.* gmp.h:
Seems gmp-devel is lacking (probably also mpfr-devel.
* To speed up one could use "export WM_NCOMPPROCS=32" or something similar.
* Also, we have had serious

I've heard about how difficult building OpenFOAM was for years. I don't
think it's all that difficult, it just takes a LOT of time to build, so
when errors are encountered, the iteration time between multiple. The
real difficulty arises from how poorly documented the build process is.

Welcome to OpenFOAM. The only code we've come across that takes more
time to build, and is
My build finally failed 1-2 days shy of 3 weeks with an error that it
couldn't find gmp.h. I am now building on a system with faster cores,

I don't have info for that exact version at my fingertips, but did an
OpenFOAM 3.0 build last week. It took ~3 hours on a 24-core Xeon
Broadwell server.

Beowulfers,
Do any of you have experience building OpenFOAM from source? How long
does it normally take to build?
I'm building OpenFOAM 4.1 for a user, and it's been compiling the code
for close to 3 weeks now. Yes, my build machine is a very slow old
system (Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Proces
