to document my problems: scotch is currently not working, scotch-git tho did work and currently I'm installing it after I installed scotch-git myself

Nice post: https://fedoramagazine.org/use-openfoam-to-solve-computational-fluid-dynamics-problems

Many thanks for investigate @weipeng1999.

I found this issue https://develop.openfoam.com/Development/openfoam/-/issues/3234

I found a reason why this package was broken recently, because the cgal was

Replaced boost::variant with std::variant and boost::optional with std::optional in the intersection functions.

see https://www.cgal.org/2024/10/23/CGAL-6.0/

to deal with this problem, I use the following temporary patch update_to_std_variant.patch

and update all -std=c++14 to -std=c++17 it just works

Will this be enough @carlosal1015 ? Or do you need more ? https://pastebin.com/Zkwtv9mp

Thanks @Aurelius_Nero for report here. The error message is truncated, maybe could you post the full in pastebin (hint: makepkg -s 2>&1 | tee -a error.log >/dev/null 2>&1).

I get this error. During the make process.

Thanks for the hint @blacklightdragon

to document my problems: scotch is currently not working, scotch-git tho did work and currently I'm installing it after I installed scotch-git myself

I am offer as volunteer to (co)maintain the package.
