I could be wrong, but I think this is more general: "spack install with existing compiler/dependencies"
I addressed the above comments. It's a good point that this could be more general. One of the other use cases that I didn't think of originally is that if there is a system module for OpenFOAM-10, then you can create a spack package specification to wrap it and still use the spack installation of additivefoam. I'd guess it will be less straightforward to use a standalone install of OpenFOAM-10 with spack, becuase of the environmental setup that would need to be run when loading the spack module. But I don't know enough about spack to write an example of that right now. |
@colemanjs good to merge? |
I've added documentation for installing the
additivefoam
spack module when you are using modules external to spack. This is useful when you need to install OpenFOAM on the system in addition to the AdditiveFOAM solver and you have system modules available to you for common libraries like C++ and MPI.
