New trial : stuck in wmake

Hi ,

Looks like the file points0MotionSolver.H does not exist.

[michaelcoe]

The point0MotionSolver.H is part of the src files for OpenFOAM itself and not part of Ika-Flow. It should be located in /src/dynamicMesh/motionSolvers/Displacement/points0/points0MotionSolver.H. It actually comes from the options file when compiling. The -I$(LIB_SRC)/dynamicMesh/lnInclude \ under EXE_INC = \ part. In general, you can put the whole dynamicMesh into your $WORKDIR and compile it from there, you don't have to put it in the /src/ folder. I would keep the library outside the actual /src and try compiling from there.

Thanks a lot for the update.
I forget to explain I am running OF2206 inside a docker container in my laptop (nproc = 8 to 22).
Basically I did (using docker in windows 11):
docker pull aidanarcher/openfoam_2206_w2f
docker run -it -v C:\Users\c0274\Documents\Ikaflow:/NameOfFolder 1578f5ded8bc
(Ikaflow is the git cloned repository, NameOfFolder is the shared folder inside the container)
Now I did wmake successfully.
Now I am trying to follow the run_mesh.sh steps inside the testCase folder.
I get the following message (Just to know if I am in the right path to reproduce your work) :

The module error in the beginning is because I was on a cluster using lmod. If you delete that line in run_mesh.sh, it will go away. It seems fine, can you open the mesh in ParaView?
