I was trying to install Helix-OS on my Arch Linux at 2019 with ZSH and GCC 8.1 and because it is quite old it recommends OpenFOAM-4.1.
Naturally, there is no package for older OpenFOAM on AUR, so it need to be built from the sources and of course we have to solve some compatibility issues and here is a collection of fixes found on the internet :)
Note that using the folder names with sufix 4.1 for version 4.1 would help some of the scripts.
mkdir -p $HOME/OpenFOAM
