problems in compile case in openFOAM

[saeidqh]

Hi..

I want a case run to OpenFOAM that it README is in <<((https://github.com/AhmedAlratrout/ContactAngle-Curvature-Roughness))>>
in part compile code i have problem.

This is error that I receive.

please guide me

Your question is unrelated to this repository. But as I faced the same issue when compiling AlRatrout's software, I found that the file "uLabelspecific.H" was dropped when OpenFOAM went from v1606+ to v1612+.
There are some inconsistencies in AlRatrout's installation manual when it comes to the underlying OpenFOAM version. Try v1606+ instead of v1612+, and the error should be gone.

Maybe this also helps other people who come by this thread, although the issue is already 5 years old.

Cheers
